Abstract: Abstract Trees are increasingly planted within paved environments in cities. However, little is known regarding growth responses of trees to different pavements. In this study, three popular urban forest tree species, pine ( Pinus tabuliformis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2408583121
Abstract: Significance High temperatures inhibit leaf function and can cause plant death. Despite ongoing increases in heatwave occurrence, understanding of how plants survive extreme heat exposure is limited. While mechanisms for both leaf heat avoidance and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvs.12580
Abstract: Question Tree mortality can determine forest dynamics and succession, alter nutrient cycling and contribute to tree species coexistence. Understanding the mechanisms that maintain species diversity is a central goal of community ecology. In this study,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0280322
Abstract: Uncertainties about controls on tree mortality make forest responses to land-use and climate change difficult to predict. We tracked biomass of tree functional groups in tropical forest inventories across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin… read more here.
