This workshop aims to seek directions of collaborative research activities on the regulatory mechanisms of forest-tree life history. The forest ecosystem with huge biomass storage provides a variation of goods and services to human society. The key life form of tree is characterized by a set of physiological, allometric, demographic and reproductive traits. We focus on cross-biome similarity and differentiation of forest trees, over a wide array of research interests and approaches, from molecular-basis of regulation to community assembly.
