Forests across the Western US face unprecedented risk due to historic fire exclusion, environmental degradation, and climate change. Forest management activities like …
Multi-year droughts in Mediterranean climates may shift the water balance, that is, the partitioning rule of precipitation across runoff, evapotranspiration, and sub-surface storage …
We used Landsat-based measures of annual evapotranspiration (ET) to explore the effects of wildfires on vegetation water use across California's Sierra Nevada. Wildfires decreased …
Bedrock vadose zone water storage (ie, rock moisture) dynamics are rarely observed but potentially key to understanding drought responses. Exploiting a borehole network at a …
The water balance is an essential tool for hydrologic studies and quantifying water‐balance components is the focus of many research catchments. A fundamental question remains …

The large-scale and single-point observations on urban vegetation easily cause the difficulty to quantitatively study the evapotranspiration of vegetation in urban micro-environments. In …
Forest restoration through mechanical thinning, prescribed burning, and other management actions is vital to improving forest resilience to fire and drought across the Western United …
Understanding the benefits provided by restoring overstocked forests is crucial to guiding the choice of management actions, policy initiatives, and investments by beneficiaries, that …
The escalating global threat of forest fires, driven by global warming, requires the development of effective prediction systems to mitigate damages. This research focuses on …
