Ecosystem warming extends vegetation activity but heightens vulnerability to cold temperatures

by brianh

Dr. Andrew Richardson's latest research was featured in the journal Nature, this research provides some of the first evidence that a warmer world will significantly shift ecosystem-wide growing seasons, putting plants at higher risks during extreme temperature swings. Using digital repeat photography—in which conventional digital cameras are programmed to take multiple images of a specific frame each day—researchers measured green-up and green-down. Simulating five levels of warming in different chambers, ranging from zero to 16.2 degrees F (zero to 9 degrees C)…

USGS award to study Colorado River riparian vegetation

by john_georgas

Dr. Teki Sankey was awarded a $244,800 grant from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) for a project titled "Riparian Remote Sensing and Mapping Along the Colorado River for Monitoring and Invasive Species Research." This work will develop a partnership between USGS and NAU to address questions of mutual interest related to mapping and monitoring vegetation and landcover within the riparian zone of the Colorado River.
