Water availability limits maximum tropical tree height. Trees modulate their drought resilience by tapering their xylem vessels (decreasing their size) from base to tip. We explored vessel-tapering patterns in πΆππππππ sp. along a climatic gradient: doi.org/10.1007/s00468β¦
I had a great opportunity to speak about the power of Dendro! Thanks for the opportunity Columbia Climate School . Everyone should study tropical trees π.
Scientists at @nasa teamed up with the USDA Forest Service to create the first-ever inventory of mature, old-growth forests in the U.S. This visualization shows vegetation height across the U.S. (shown in green, with lighter color indicating taller trees). go.nasa.gov/3oLcvVg
Our very own Dr. Ed Cook giving the Lamont-Doherty Colloquium this afternoon! The LDEO Tree Ring Lab legend, co-founder, and all around amazing scientist. Congrats Ed!
