@GiardinaFra @LUQLTER @LauraBoeschoten @ramontgomery_mn @Tana_TropicsGal @XiangtaoX @JesterKZ We are measuring air temperature and humidity but we aren't going to try and control VPD or anything like that. That's awesome you worked with Maria. She was my postdoc advisor and is a PI on the project.

The prototype for LUQTEE (Luquillo Throughfall Exclusion Experiment) @LUQLTER seems to be drying the soil nicely. Next up, building the final shelters! @LauraBoeschoten @ramontgomery_mn @Tana_TropicsGal @XiangtaoX @JesterKZ and Maria Uriarte.

Climate-induced tree-mortality pulses are obscured by broad-scale and long-term greening. Excited for this work led by Yuchao Yan to be out this week in @NatureEcoEvo! 🌲 🛰️ 🌳

@shroominn @GiardinaFra @LUQLTER @LauraBoeschoten @ramontgomery_mn @Tana_TropicsGal @XiangtaoX @JesterKZ Decompo experiment is a great idea!

[Chris M. Smith-Martin @CMSmithMartin]

@GiardinaFra @LUQLTER @LauraBoeschoten @ramontgomery_mn @Tana_TropicsGal @XiangtaoX @JesterKZ But in the actual experiment, we are also measuring tree growth, sap flow, and other ecophys traits. So far, we have just been collecting pretreatment data but will start rain exclusion shelter construction this summer.

@GiardinaFra @LUQLTER @LauraBoeschoten @ramontgomery_mn @Tana_TropicsGal @XiangtaoX @JesterKZ In the prototype, we are just measuring soil moisture and temperature down to 1 m and air humidity and temperature.

Beautiful Southern Sierras!

Most of the carbon in tropical forests is stored in roots — but climate models don’t reflect that. @NewPhyt paper coauthored by Cary’s @SABatterman lays a roadmap for fixing how roots are represented in models, to help improve climate change predictions. https://t.co/5iTfZbvHWP

Fresh out of the oven! We show that plant reflectance can estimate physiology and be used to detect Oak Wilt or drought before visual symptoms appear. Reflectance variability within the canopy allows us to differentiate one from the other.
