Dr. Cate Macinnis-Ng and Professor Stefan Arndt Appointed Section Editors-in-Chief in Forests

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Cate Macinnis-Ng and Professor Stefan Arndt were appointed Section Editors-in-Chief for the Section 'Forest Ecophysiology and Biology'.

Dr. Cate Macinnis-Ng is an Associate Investigator in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Auckland. She is a plant ecophysiologist and ecohydrologist specialising in water and carbon fluxes of trees and other vegetation.

Professor Stefan Arndt completed his PhD in plant ecophysiology at the University of Vienna in 2000 and is working at the School of Ecosystem and Forest Sciences of the University of Melbourne since 2002. The major focus of his research is on the interface between plants and their environment. He is particularly interested to understand the physiological responses of plants to their abiotic and biotic environment and the role of plants in the functioning of ecosystems.

We are confident that the strong academic backgrounds and connections of the Editors will help continue to raise Forests' prestige and quality, while maintaining the efficiency of manuscript processing that Forests authors have come to expect.
