Welcome to the web site of the Woody Root 6
  • We are pleased to announce that the Sixth International Symposium on Physiological Processes in Roots of Woody Plants will be held in Nagoya, Japan on the 8th - 13th September 2014. The first symposium was held in Ithaca in 1995, with subsequent meetings in Nancy 1999, Perth 2003, Bangor 2007 and Victoria 2010.
The major objectives of the symposium are:
  • Presentation of the latest advances in physiology and ecology of root systems of woody plants,
  • To better understand impacts of environmental changes on root physiological and ecological processes,
  • To better address the integrative nature of root system through collaborative works among scientists studying woody roots and related fields of sciences in molecular to ecosystem levels, and
  • To identify priorities for future researches in belowground woody root biology.
The symposium will be divided into following 5 sessions:
  • Nutrient uptake and utilization
  • Root development and turnover
  • Belowground carbon allocation
  • Water acquisition
  • Biological interaction
