Andy will be workin with Kuai Fang (from Kate Maher's group) on using transformers to improve Western US LFMC retrievals for wildfire applications. Welcome, Andy!
Meng used simulations to compare the influence of temperature, water stress, and biomass on VOD and found a substantial role for temperature, despite routinely being ignored.
We use Sentinel-1 and FIA data to show that only 53% of explainable plant water sensitivity spatial patterns can be predicted by species. Thus, climate, soil, etc can't be ignored.
