Our study on helping pine forests endure hurricanes was featured in an issue of The Longleaf Alliance magazine. Originally publised in Forest Ecology and Management we show how managing density, promoting tree taper, and reducing fragmentation boosts wind resistance. Read it here -> bit.ly/3UuDLEa

SCIENMAG featured our lab post-doc ‪@nzampieri.bsky.social‬'s work on how intensifying hurricanes threaten endangered longleaf pine ecosystems, and what strategies we can take to protect them #LongleafPine #ClimateChange #Ecology scienmag.com/new-research...

🌲💧 Check out this new work from our team, where we explore how forest restoration of open-pine systems, including loblolly and longleaf pine, can be strategically placed to boost streamflow. 📖 Read more in Scientific Reports: rdcu.be/eumhw
