Title: DEEP Tree Biology

Summary: Epsiode 3: Revenge of Tree Physiology
Tree biology has many facets to be understood and connected together. This is the third workshop in a series of six given by master educator and author Dr. Kim Coder of the University of Georgia, USA. This workshop will help define and describe advanced information on tree photosynthesis and respiration designed for tree health care providers. Coverage will include how trees gather light energy, collect carbon-dioxide, manufacture food and building materials, transport food, and use energy to sustain life. The workshop will help you follow tree life processes beginning with basic understandings of cell structures and enzyme functions. Next will be an examination of the photosynthetic process and tracing the path of tree food transport. Finally, we will look at tree respiration, life energy, and how various important tree chemicals are made. This workshop is a lecture format with extensive handouts. A new simplified tree chemistry notation will be used focusing on the most important and basic tree physiology steps and processes. This will be a foundation educational event on how trees live.
