Drought before fire increases tree mortality after fire
Fire and drought are expected to increase in frequency and severity in temperate forests due to climate change. To evaluate whether drought increases the likelihood of post-fire tree mortality, we us...

I sampled a white pine log at this boat landing a couple years ago. It was overgrown with willows and partially decomposed in the soil. I finally measured it today and it dates from 1422-1588.

It was a nice 30-minute break from the work I should be doing.

I also have an oak(!) PhD opportunity in my group via the CENTA DTP 😅. What drives oak's slow ageing, and can this be changed to allow fast breeding? If you know anyone who's interested please do let them know! Deadline 8th January. Thank you! 🙏

🚨 New paper! 🌲🌲🌲 Monkey puzzle trees reproduce in mast years that occur synchronously across their range. But large-scale sync isn’t the norm - just when its warm. We reconstructed using #TreeRings, using the signal from varying reproductive costs in male and female trees doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70087

Our team is back in the field again!

There aren't too many late fall days in the Oregon coast range that look like this, so they took full advantage. 43 tree cores and several stump cross sections(!!!)
