👏 Incredible work by @pieterzuidema.bsky.social!
This global tree-ring study shows the real toll of droughts on tropical forests—some seeing >10% growth loss.

How do tropical #trees deal with droughts? The answer is published today in @science.org

Our pantropical #treering analysis revealed 2.5% growth reduction during #drought years. Yet, growth declined by >10% in 1/4 of 500 study sites, and in hotter & drier regions.

🌲 Tree growth is getting more unpredictable
A JFR study shows Picea purpurea radial growth
variability increased from 1960–2020, driven mainly by July moisture and rising
vapor pressure deficit.

HISTORY OF A PLANT & ME

The year I was born, 1944, my dad planted a Cedar Tree next to the old home site in MS.

We both grew up & this was us 43 years later in 1987.

🌳 Forests of the future are growing fast!
By 2100, Quercus mongolica stands could see +145% volume and +80% productivity under RCP8.5.
3-PG + Bayesian calibration = sharper growth predictions.

#forestecology #treegrowth #reforestation 📣Another call for help: I'm having a hard time finding examples of cases where the crown area of tree species has been measured or estimated in reforestation scenarios? Some backward calculations can be made from productivity curves but not ideal. Anyone?

New paper in Science of Remote Sensing! 📡🌲
We introduce two novel Sentinel-1 SAR vegetation indices that improve cloud-independent monitoring of forest dynamics by reconstructing NIRv (R² = 0.85).
