Dapeng recently completed his PhD in CEE at Penn State on differentiable machine learning and will apply his AI expertise to ecohydrology and remote sensing. Welcome, Dapeng!
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.
