Delighted to share new research led by former undergraduate Gabriella Eldridge! @uidaho.bsky.social sky.social ⚡ Key Finding: Moderately high fire intensity led to 126% more resprouts in aspen than lower fire intensity. To Learn More: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

In our newest Quantitative Fire Severity paper we also show how saplings in 5 different tree species respond to fires of varying intensities - in terms of % mortality and impacts on net photosynthesis at 4 weeks after the experimental fires doi.org/10.1093/treephys/tpad051

In our newest Quantitative Fire Severity paper we show that the dNBR and dCSI spectral indices can be used to predict species mortality in saplings of two contrasting tree species - in fires over a range of intensities doi.org/10.1093/treephys/tpad051

Hey Everyone, my lab focuses on Quantitative Fire Severity. We do lab and #RxFire experiments focusing on how heat from fires impact trees and #PlantScience, #ecophysiology, fire-induced mortality, and when they live: long-term growth. We assess interactions of fire with stressors such as #drought.
