JRBP featured on the cover of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

JRBP was featured on the cover of the January 12, 2016 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, in an image by Greg Asner et al. that illustrates 3-dimensional mapping of the water content of tree canopies by the Carnegie Airborne Observatory. JRBP has been a reference site in their survey of moisture stress across all of California’s forested area. In the PNAS publication, Asner et al. conclude that up to 58 million large trees in California experienced severe water loss between 2011 and 2015.  (image courtesy of Carnegie Airborne Observatory, Carnegie Institution for Science)
