Assistant Professor - Ecosystem Physiology and Global Change Lab @wvubiology
Joined August 2018
New paper in @GlobalChangeBio Eastern US forests are shifting to more mesic species and the climate is expected to get drier. The two combined indicate drought will have a bigger impact in the carbon budget in the future.

In the eastern United States, land use decisions have impacted what species are present in forests. The climate of the region has also changed and is expected to continue to warm and produce strong...

I provide some context to the nice recent vegetation water content (via VOD) paper(s) by @YitongYao @chr_fronge @vwhumphrey and others. I am super excited to see so much use of satellite vegetation optical depth (VOD), which has really taken off recently https://t.co/WomYYX65Gk

Satellite-based vegetation optical depth (VOD) is sensitive to plant water status and biomass, but is challenging to validate Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and plant hydraulic models...

New #SpectralEcophysiology paper: “Hyperspectral signals in the soil: Plant–soil hydraulic connection and disequilibrium as mechanisms of drought tolerance and rapid recovery”, from Yangyang Song’s postdoc in my lab, w/ @Gerard_Sapes, @ProfZare, et al.:
onlinelibrary.wiley.com
We developed models to accurately predict rhizosphere water status from hyperspectral imaging of roots and soil. We found canopies cannot always accurately predict rhizosphere water status—as our...

Drylands in the western United States are currently in the grips of a 23-year “megadrought,” and @WestVirginiaU researcher @KannenbergSteve is working to gain a better understanding of this extreme climate event. Read more about his study: https://t.co/vcIXMKkCgw

Excited to announce our @NatRevEarthEnv review synthesizing plant responses to fewer, larger rain events across field studies, models, and satellites. We focus on plant responses and mechanisms in the context of the contrasting behavior between dry and wet ecosystems.
🚨New Review @a_feldman24, @A_J_Felton, @alan_knapp, @carBenPoulter et al discuss plant responses to fewer but larger rain events TL;DR: productivity typically increases in dry ecosystems but decreases in wet ecosystems https://t.co/UyAFDxzx9o… ( https://t.co/sMQu2cIRKa)

And the Mojave shrub sampling for this year is a wrap! We had a big turnout this year and the weather was excellent. Though, all the fun was slightly overshadowed by the death of three >44 year old brittlebush that have been around since the first sampling in 1981...
