This is the first year the section has offered the award, which is made possible through the generous support from the journal Plant, Cell &Environment (Blackwell Publishing, Dr. Keith Mott, Editor-in-Chief). The winner will receive a $750 check from the Physiological Ecology section. The runner-up will receive a $250 check from the section. Eligibility requirements: 1.
