Graduate assistantship in tree ecophysiology available at the
University of Maine. I am seeking a MS or Ph.D. student to join
our research program studying the influence of past and future
climate change and management options on tree species
composition of the Acadian forest. The Acadian forest occupies
a tension zone between the boreal forest and the eastern
deciduous forest providing an excellent setting for investigating
the ecophysiology of range-limits, competition, species
migrations and related topics. Our current approach is studying
the tradeoffs between opportunity and stress offered by rapid
shifts in environmental factors. This position includes a stipend,
full tuition and health insurance. Contact Mike Day, Department
of Forest Ecosystem Science, University of Maine, Orono ME
