Emil is a master's student in CEE who will be working with Dapeng on building a multi-decadal LFMC record for the Western US using multi-target machine learning. Welcome, Emil!
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.
