Abstract:
We study how drought and climate change affect forest ecosystems, including tree physiology, carbon cycling, biosphere-atmosphere feedbacks, and nature-based climate solutions. This research spans a broad array of spatial scales from xylem cells to ecosystems and seeks to gain a better mechanistic and predictive understanding of how climate change will affect forests around the world by leveraging multi-scale measurements and models. This talk will cover our recent work on modeling wildfire, drought, biotic agent, and other climate stresses on forests and their carbon cycling. Bio:
