Advisory Board

All activities of the TRY initiative are headed by the Advisory Board, which comprises leading scientists from around the globe, including the principle investigators of the former IGBP Fast Track Initiative on Refining Plant Functional Classifications and the hosting institute of the TRY database.

The Advisory Board provides guidance for the development of the TRY initiative, is responsible for the approval of proposals submitted to TRY and has facilitated third party funding from DIVERSITAS, IGBP, QUEST and the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry - the basis for a long-term perspective of TRY.
