TreeChange combines life history traits from field observations with demographic modelling to understand the future of forests and the carbon sink. Based at Lund in Sweden you will work with researchers across the world
@iavs5.bsky.social"Science grows through these exchanges, especially the ones that start over a casual bump at lunch or in the corridors”. The IAVS Travel Grant helps make that possible. Our next symposium is in Kumasi, Ghana (12–16 July 2027) 🇬🇭
Information coming soon.

@iavs5.bsky.social"I'm not really a person who uses social media much, but during the symposium I realized how important it is to stay connected and keep exchanging ideas with people online after the event."
@iavs5.bsky.socialCarson received an IAVS Travel Grant to attend our annual symposium as a poster presenter. In his words: "Without it, I simply wouldn't have been able to afford the trip from Brazil to the symposium". He says that “presenting a poster was actually perfect for where he is in his PhD”.

@preslia.czReposted by @iavs5.bsky.socialHabitat specialists matter for both research and conservation. This study identifies 274 vascular plant, bryophyte and macrofungal specialists of Czech fens and bogs, and uses strict specialists to reconstruct a major historical decline of mire habitats.

@bes-forests.bsky.socialReposted by @iavs5.bsky.socialThis #WorldHabitatDay, we’re spotlighting our forests.
As home to many terrestrial species, healthy forest ecosystems purify water, stabilize climate, and protect global biodiversity 🍃💧
Protecting forests safeguards our future! 🦉💚
