New paper alert 📢: When we tried to parameterize P. sabiniana (grey pine🌲) in an ecosystem model, we found there was VERY little data describing it… so, we collected some! authors.elsevier.com/a/1jbkF3-%7EMP… [1/2]

Two stout ponderosa in the spring mts. Also remarkably short. Enjoying these S. Nevada forests!

Crews have begun chainsawing and shredding thousands of protected Joshua trees to make way for a sprawling solar field in the Mojave Desert. Century-old trees become a pile of dust. “Once the trees go through the shredders, they vanish” bit.ly/4dSFEm6

Very smoky day in Las Vegas. There are typically mountains out there, somewhere.

Nothing to see here.. just another 5 days of record highs for Phoenix. That would make 14 straight days of record highs for them. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a prolonged stretch of record heat anywhere in the US climate record.

Cool.
