  About this event

 Description 
-------------

**Join us to hear Dr. Larsen talk about the ecosystem services provided by trees, and the roles trees can play in our urban environment.**

The lecture will go through different ecosystem services provided by trees, with focus on regulating services and how it relates to a species water-use strategy. It will also go into the role trees can play in our urban environment, the abiotic stresses they have to withstand, and adaptations to cope with these stresses.

Dr. Elisabeth K. Larsen did her PhD at the University of Alicante in Spain, where she studied ecophysiology of Mediterranean Aleppo pine forests. In 2020 she started as a research fellow with the Royal Horticultural Society, where she is researching ecosystem services provided by garden trees. Elisabeth is interested in understanding the relationship between environmental drivers and transpiration of different tree speices and cultivars.
