Contribution of Lianas to Plant Area Index and Canopy Structure in a Panamanian Forest
No full textLianas are an important component of tropical forests, where they reduce tree growth, fecundity and survival. Competition for light among plants may be intense; however the amount of light that lianas intercept is poorly understood. We used a large-scale liana removal experiment to quantify light interception by lianas in a Panamanian secondary forest. We measured the change in plant area index (PAI) and forest structure six weeks after cutting lianas in eight 80x80 m plots and in eight control plots, and then annually for four years. We used ground-based LiDAR to measure the 3-dimensional canopy structure before cutting lianas and annually for two years afterwards. Six weeks after cutting lianas, mean plot PAI was 20% higher in control versus liana removal plots. One year after cutting lianas, mean plot PAI was ~17% higher in control plots. The differences among treatments diminished significantly two years after liana cutting and, after four years, trees had fully compensated for the removal of lianas. Ground-based LiDAR revealed that lianas were distributed in the upper and middle parts of the canopy, and not just the upper canopy as previously suspected. Therefore, lianas attenuated ~20% of the light in the upper- and mid-canopy of the forest

A Learning Journey: From a Global Context to Classroom Practice
No full textWhat makes a teacher really effective? How do we turn the science of teaching into a practical art, day by day, in the classroom?
Avenor College, in partnership with Schools+ Network, invites you to an interactive webinar on the Unlocking High-Quality Teaching report – an essential document for teachers looking to take the learning process to a higher level. The webinar will be held on Monday, November 24th, 5:30-7:00 pm, online.
The hosts of the event will be Mihaela Stancu, Curriculum Leader Romanian Language and Romanian Language Teacher at Avenor College, and Paula M. Rodriguez, Research Associate, OECD Schools+.
The webinar will feature as special guests Diana Segarceanu, Executive Director of Avenor College, and Dr. Elizabeth Hidson, Senior Lecturer: Professional Development and International Education; Research & Knowledge Exchange Fellow.
What you will discover during the meeting:
• The 5 pedagogical dimensions and the 20 scientifically validated practices proposed by the OECD for quality teaching.
• How the Avenor College team explored one of these dimensions – cognitive engagement of students through metacognitive strategies – in a research project conducted throughout the school year.
• Concrete strategies, real examples and practical tools that you can apply immediately in your own classroom.
• A live Q&A session, where you can ask questions.
