Join us for our Spring 2023 Bio Grad Seminar Series! This April, Benjamin Sheppard (Steinbrenner Lab), Nathan Grassi (Kerr Lab), and Edú Guerra (Santana Lab) will be presenting their research reports. Hosted by Sophia Jannetty.

Widespread tree mortality following disturbances such as droughts, fire, and pest and pathogen outbreaks has emerged as an environmentally and economically devastating ‘ecological surprise’. Increases in disturbance-driven tree mortality with further climate change has the potential to massively disrupt terrestrial ecosystem productivity and biodiversity, causing Earth’s forests to release carbon into the atmosphere.
