Hamid led a study that explores traditional vs. counterfactual views on ecosystem recovery in the age of climate change. Traditionally, recovery means bouncing back to a pre-disturbance state. The problem? It assumes a stable ecosystem, …
New study led by Meng Luo: Impacts of Forest Management-Induced Productivity Changes on Future Land Use and Land Cover Change
We found more intense forest management leads to smaller land use and land cover changes and helps preserve natural lands by 2100. See details at https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2024EF004878
Fujiang and Fa led a publication on the transferability of PLSR models for leaf trait estimation: lessons from a comprehensive analysis with a novel global dataset
We compiled a comprehensive dataset of leaf traits and spectra to explore the transferability of predictive models. We found that while PLSR models demonstrate commendable performance in predicting chlorophyll content, carotenoid, leaf water, and leaf …
Congratulations to Fujiang, who received the department’s annual Thomas O’Brien Award!
New paper in Nature Climate Change: Xiaojia and Fa led a study investigating Boreal-Arctic wetland methane emissions
“Methane concentrations are rising faster than ever in the atmosphere. Now, a compilation of observations points towards increased methane emissions from Arctic wetlands as being partly responsible” – Commented by Torben R. Christensen Check out …
Hamid won the 2023 DIH Postdoctoral Fellowship – Congratulations!
Wisconsin is the second-largest dairy producer in the US, but the industry is facing challenges, including climate change and changes in dietary patterns. US climate policies, including carbon pricing, are complex due to variations between …
