Marvin completed his PhD on the plant physiology of drought response at UCLA. He will work on linking plant physiology and microwave proxies of vegetation water. Welcome, Marvin!
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.
