New paper alert🔔My last PhD chapter is published📣
Our new study explains how the ratio of sapwood to leaf area🌿varies with hydraulic traits and climate on a global scale. Our theoretical model can capture almost 60% of trait variation.
Stay tuned! Blog is on the way

Yes, forest trees die of old age. But the warming climate is killing them faster
The warming climate is killing Australia’s forest trees at a faster rate. This offers a glimpse of what may lie ahead for forests globally.
I hear from friends in WA, where the trees are dying.
I hear of the loss in the Adelaide Hills.
I see it here in Central VIC.
I see it across the higher mountains.
The fact that ecologists still manage to function in the face of ongoing loss is a daily miracle.

The data center boom in the desert
The AI race is transforming northwestern Nevada into one of the world's largest data-center markets—and sparking fears of water strains in the nation’s driest state.
Data centers popping up on Indigenous lands everywhere, but especially perilous to us desert tribes where water availability for crops and for communities have new competition.
