It’s a PVC shopping spree! 🛒 Here at TRACE we use PVC for everything. The possibilities are endless!

IITF technicians Humberto Robles and Carlos Torrens cut these in half lengthwise. Want to guess what we used them for?🤨 Stay tuned to see what we did with all of it!

During 4 months, intern Ari E. Puentes, documented the #biodiversity at the Sabana Field Research Station. From Anoles, to #Insects, #Fungi, and much more. All together he saw about 111 species!!

Sap flow sensors are used to measure movement of water in the sapwood area, which can inform plant water use. 💧

We got to learn the ins and outs of the science behind the sensors and participated in an installation demonstration.

[TRACE @ForestWarming]

We attended a workshop on sap flow sensors & stem and leaf psychrometers from @ICT_Int_AU

The @LUQLTER TEE has been instrumenting the plots with sap flow sensors in the main stem and roots to understand how #drought will affect water movement and quantity in trees.🌳

TRACE bids goodbye to our resident fun-guy! 🍄👋

We want to devote this #fungifriday to our intern, Ari Puentes. In 4 months he helped with TRACE tasks & completed an independent project on movement and connectivity of fungal mats! He was also responsible for fungi posts! (1/2)
