Oscar participated in a functional trait course in Spain

Between 11th-16th December, our PhD student Oscar participated in the course "Species Traits: A Functional Approach To Biodiversity, From Organisms To Ecosystems" which took place in the mountains near Valencia, Spain. The course was organised by CSIC (Spain) and the Centre for Forest Research (CEF, Quebec), and included PhD students from all over the world. During the course, Oscar learned the concepts and theories related to functional traits of organisms, to measure plant traits, to apply a trait-based approach to understand biotic responses to environmental factors and that traditional paella should not contain seafood 🙂
