The western US has experienced widespread increases in burned area in recent decades (Keeley and Syphard 2018; Bowman et al., 2020). In California and Oregon the largest and most destructive… More
Climate extremes such as heat waves and droughts are projected to occur more Frequently with increasing temperature and an intensified hydrological cycle. It is Important to understand and quantify how… More
Temperature is a primary environmental control on ecological systems and processes at a range of spatial and temporal scales. The surface temperature of organisms is often more relevant for ecological… More
Canopy temperature Tcan is a key driver of plant function that emerges as a result of interacting biotic and abiotic processes and properties. However, understanding controls on Tcan and forecasting… More
Large datasets of greenhouse gas and energy surface-atmosphere fluxes measured with the eddy-covariance technique (e.g., FLUXNET2015, AmeriFlux BASE) are widely used to benchmark models and remote-sensing products. This study addresses… More
Forest carbon sequestration via forest preservation can be a viable climate change mitigation strategy. We identify forests in the western conterminous United States with high potential carbon sequestration and low… More
