We study soil-plant-atmosphere interactions to accelerate climate change mitigation and adaptation

[Lucas Silva @silva_lcr]

Thrilled to kick off this (literally) groundbreaking project! We are partnering with 20 farms to boost carbon capture. Led by @lmhallett & Marissa Lane-Massee @uoregon we will test how native species enhance weathering and CO2 sequestration 🌍 Read more: https://t.co/WrohAMHS46

A thread about some unexpected but broadly applicable results arising from @NSF funded Convergence to Accelerate Research on Biological Sequestration #CARBS focusing on #PNW forests #carbon-#water relations

[Lucas Silva @silva_lcr]

Some results from @NSF funded research @uoregon @HJA_Live @OregonState "Carbon-Water Tradeoffs in Old-Growth and Young Forests" @AguAdvances: Old-growth forests of the #PNW not only store more carbon but are more drought-resistant than younger forests https://t.co/rJaQxCKQOa

Proud to see @AlisonDeak’s thesis published @ESAEcosphere #OpenAccess “Prescribed fire placement matters more than frequency and extent in a simulated Pacific Northwest landscape” an interdisciplinary collaboration with @MelissaLucash @Anthro_Coughlan @ShelbyAWeiss @SPA_research

[Lucas Silva @silva_lcr]

Proud of our ELP students at @uoregon and grateful to have such amazing staff @SPA_research running this long term experiment in collaboration with @EWEButility thanks everyone!

[Lucas Silva @silva_lcr]

Excited to see a classroom project @uoregon @SPA_research become a peer-reviewed publication on 'The Spatial & Temporal Domains of Climate Solutions' Students explored land use optimization for CO2 drawdown using #PNW climate soil & ecosystem flux data https://t.co/cQoSrM5oK9

[EUG Water & Electric @EWEButility]

These plants solve nasty problems.

Students in the @uoregon Environmental Leadership Program (ELP) visit our carbon sequestration forest in their climate solutions class. The outdoor lab is a partnership between EWEB and the Soil, Plant and Atmosphere (@SPA_research) Lab.

Congratulations @adriana_uscanga and team at @uoregon @SPA_research

[Lucas Silva @silva_lcr]

Excited to share “Incorporating Small-Scale Disturbances in Models of Forest Structure & Aboveground Biomass" @adriana_uscanga et al show how field data+remote sensing enhance biomass mapping. A big step for predictive #ConservationScience #ClimateAction https://t.co/CozlTj9SoP
