come connect with ESA southwest chapter!

I’m at #AGU25 in NOLA and will be presenting my poster on hybrid oak physiology Monday morning! Would love to chat science, or just stop by to say hi!

Meet the 2026 team for the ESA Southwest Chapter! 🌵☀️ We're super excited to serve our community and support your science in any way we can! Got questions or ideas? Send them our way! Stay tuned for introduction posts of each of our amazing new leaders!

The December cover of "Ecological Applications" is feeling the burn! This prescribed fire in a Sierra Nevada forest shows the immediate carbon cost of wildfire mitigation—but new research reveals that treatments like this one also have long-term benefits Find the full issue: tinyurl.com/ms6z58f2

Check out the #OpenAccess study here, in our journal "Ecological Applications"! doi.org/10.1002/eap....

🆕 & #OpenAccess in "Ecological Applications": Tree seeds in the canopy can beat the heat, sometimes fueling surprise forest comebacks after extreme fires 📄Canopy seed survival through extreme fire in non-serotinous conifers: An unexpected source of forest resilience doi.org/10.1002/eap....

🆕 & #OpenAccess in "Ecological Monographs": Roots and fungi team up differently as forests age, resulting in movement along a nutrient acquisition continuum over time 📄Root-mycorrhizal foraging strategies shift with forest age more than with nitrogen manipulation doi.org/10.1002/ecm....

🆕 in Ecosphere's #MacrosystemsEcology track: How closely do soil moisture & streamflow sync up over time? A close look at seasonal dry-down 📄Aridity reduces lag times between aquatic and terrestrial dry-down among watersheds and across years in the northwest US doi.org/10.1002/ecs2...
