- Reposted by Bob ShriverOur new MS on post-fire seeding is out! It turns out post-fire seeding at higher rates than typically used, and over multiple years gives a much greater chance of seeing success in dryland areas. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- New paper on post-fire seeding led by Martin Genova! Martin was co-advised by @dendromecon27.bsky.social and I.

- Join the Laughlin lab and our new NSF funded project! Awesome opportunity to visit forests across the western US and examine the functional basis of demographic responses to drought and wildfire.
- Great PhD opportunity with an excellent supervisor: Quantify traits of tree species across the western US to determine how tree populations and forest communities will respond to drought and fire. plant-traits.net/lab-openings/

- New paper led by PhD student Elise Pletcher! Forecasts from simple, density-dependent population models are highly transferable to new sites. Adding env. covariates does little to improve prediction in-sample and worsens forecasts out-of-sample. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

- Reposted by Bob Shriver🚨 New paper, led by Cristina Barber. We used high-resolution aerial imagery to study tree mortality in a tropical landscape. Large, isolated trees were most likely to die--alarming finding! @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

- Reposted by Bob ShriverDioecious plants have separate male and female individuals, and temperature sensitivity may vary between sexes. A study of a dioecious grass species, Texas Bluegrass, shows that poleward shifts will be shaped by male heat intolerance. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

- Why has woody plant density been increasing in dryland ecosystems? In a new paper in @pnas.org we show that increasing tree density in pinyon-juniper woodlands could largely be a result of long-term population growth, rather than recent anthropogenic effects. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
- We use age structure data from PJ populations across the western US. All of these populations are dominated by young trees. But using simple population models, we show that observed increases in tree establishment are highly predictable using pre-1800 tree establishment rates.
