Tree growth and physiology under climate change

We are quantitative physiological ecologists interested in fundamental questions about the impacts of climate change, drought, and disturbance on tree growth across scales. We use Bayesian models, tree-rings, isotopes, NSC, and radiocarbon to understand tree physiological memory.

ECOSS video about our redwood fire recovery paper, out now in Nature Plants !

Short video about upcoming work quantifying the age of carbon reserves used to recover from catastrophic fire in old-growth coast redwoods.
Some of these trees are 80 m (>260 feet) tall!
