Learn about my current project investigating **tree-hydraulic architecture**.
Joining the @unigoettingen departments Plant Ecology and Ecosystem Research, Bioclimatology, and Spatial Structures and Digitization of Forests we explore using #Sapflow of a forest tree and stand-based climate data how water distributes in the canopy. #hydrology #research #climate #drought stress #canopy #LiDAR #treeclimbing #plantscience

“One of the things that’s really interesting in that regard is bus stops. In these kinds of areas, people tend to take more public transportation,” Lookingbill said. “We found that a lot of those bus stops are areas that are uncovered and don’t have a lot of tree cover or artificial bus stop cover.” https://virginiamercury.com/briefs/study-shows-historically-redlined-virginia-neighborhoods-are-hotter-in-the-summer/ #climate #transit #equity #redlining #canopy #PublicHealth

Just finished my morning walk through Gordon Square and caught these leaves dancing in the perfect beam of sunlight Early summer in London really is magical – the way the light filters through the canopy creates this gorgeous natural stained glass effect.

"Residential exposure to trees has been associated with reduced mortality risks.
We hypothesise that in addition to tree canopy cover, tree canopy configuration also plays a role in exposure–mortality relationships." >>

Architectural Waves by the Sea

It’s been a few years since I’ve been in Malaga. This one is from November 2018 on a lovely sunny day. I love the “Palmeral de las Sorpresas” pergola is an eye-catching structure along the promenade.

Treetops at Risk
Challenges of Global Canopy Ecology and Conservation by Margaret Lowman et al, 2013

Forest canopies not only support high terrestrial biodiversity but also represent a critical interface between the atmosphere and the earth. They provide goods and services to support diverse human communities and offer opportunities to explore sustainable use of these resources for many generations of local livelihoods.

Amazon Canopy Panorama

Back in 2008 I took a trip to Peru by myself and spent half a dozen days in the Amazon jungle.

Not on the Amazon itself, mind you; I was technically on the Madre de Dios River, but it is all Amazon-ish as far as I could tell.

The place I stayed at had a high up cano
