Lucy runs an excellent, supportive lab! Highly recommend anyone interested in urban ecosystems to consider applying!

Exciting news! Our 30m annual GLanCE land cover datasets (2001-2019) for South America are out at the LP-DAAC! They include land change info & EVI metrics from CCDC. Soon on Google Earth Engine along with North America, Europe, & Oceania.🌎 lnkd.in/eDCMYYBs #Landsat #GEE

eCO2 can increase NPP and biomass even in old forests, potentially due to a large increase in root exudates (and mediated by ectomycorrhizal fungi?): nature.com/articles/s4155…
