A lot of scientists are collocating other remote sensing data with GEDI. It would be great to keep those integrative projects going. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Demography offers a potentially important constraint for DGVM projections. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our new study has just been published in nature! We find a marked increase in tree mortality in the tropical moist forests of #Australia in the past decades, consistent across many species and sites. The results point at #ClimateChange as the most likely driver.

VPD is rising and yes trees are dying. A long term dataset from moist tropical forests in Australia is sending yet another signal that climate is shifting complex forest systems from their past dynamics.

Another facet, and feedback, of the climate crisis - David Bauman took us into the thicket of details for Science in Action later today bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

Imagine a world where those trees populated the region. It reminds us that preservation is more urgent than tree planting.

I don’t quite understand this. I hope to. But it also seems important. Funny how that works. This goes into my “need to read the paper and a lot of Wikipedia” folder.

Do they become wise?

I noticed this in our water table data at SERC, Edgewater MD. Great to see this confirmed and advanced.

Lots of ideas, new collaborations & friends during an amazing week discussing #tropicaltreemortality with experts from different forest plot networks Thank you all! Stay tuned for more 🌳

Transcriptomically speaking, what makes a #liana (climbing vine) a liana? Let's read... ForestGEO SeanMcMahon Samantha Worthy @Nate_G_Swenson journals.biologists.com/bio/article/11…

In their new paper Needham, et al. compare field-based data from @STRI_Panama’s Barro Colorado Island 50-ha plot with FATES simulations to benchmark growth/mortality rates & better represent crown damage in vegetation models: doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16…

Do you want to measure features of canopy leaves--real canopy leaves? Amazing week last week with the super team of @albert_loren working with @DeLeavesDrone at SmithsonianEnv in the ForestGEO plot!

The leaves were collected for a NASA grant that will use ISS Research data with forest inventory data, the SCOPE model, and, yes, leaf measurements, to better understand tropical forest response to drought. Last week was our practice week at SERC! On to Smithsonian Panama and BCI!

Ugh. (this is not an 'ugh' from a tree lover, who wants trees to be happy and live long, productive lives, but a tree demographer, who wants clear, interpretable data!).

This is an amazing opportunity for early career scientists. Enjoy Berlin, a diverse group of fellows, and the broader WIKO community.
