In my lab we try to understand how climate change affects tropical forests by studying how environmental factors influence the physiology and ecology of tropical trees and lianas. We are interested in identifying threshold temperatures for various aspects of plant performance, including carbon...
A new model suggests reforestation could be detrimental to water resources in the Panama Canal. Smithsonian scientists warn of flawed methodology and emphasize case for long-term monitoring.
Lower atmospheric carbon and cooler temperatures may have contributed to the domestication of corn, a new study shows.
Researchers find genetically modified pollen from soybeans in otherwise GMO-free Mexican honey.
Tropical reforestation projects need take into consideration “liana infestation” to maximize carbon sequestration, says the study’s lead author.
A coral die-off in Panama was likely due to oxygen depletion instead of the usual culprits of warming, pollution, overfishing and acidification.
The ecologist who leads ForestGEO’s ecosystems and climate initiative visits STRI and discusses her plans to tackle millions of tree measurements taken across the globe.
A new study raises questions about how a common beach creature will sustain its populations if temperature swings become greater in the future.
