Excited to share our new #Nature article published yesterday. It showed that rainfall variability is almost as important as total annual rainfall amount in determining global vegetation dynamics.

A news story about our study.

Interesting to read someone wrote about your study!

Unraveling Hydrogen Isotope Differences in Plants and Water
In a groundbreaking study set to shape our understanding of plant-water interactions, researchers Li, Good, and Wang have ventured into the intricate world of stable hydrogen isotopes, unraveling the

Today's Nature Climate Change issue highlighted our recent article led by @dficklin.bsky.social.

We showed that greening vegetation strongly mitigates flooding impacts on the land surface.

My master’s student Carlynn’s first-ever publication! Congratulations!!

We showed that fog water 18O changes unexpectedly after long-term storage (in years). Rain and dew samples are fine after long-term storage.

Effects of Long‐Term Storage on the Isotopic Compositions of Different Types of Environmental Waters
Rationale Fog, dew, and rain are crucial for sustaining ecosystem functions, especially in water-limited regions. However, they are subject to isotopic changes during storage due to their usual smal...

Starting the new year with a family hike at the Starkey park of our small town Zionsville in Indiana. It’s 2 mile hike and we survived the muddy/flooding section :)

New pub in Earth Future. We showed increasing flooding events are NOT as much as rainfall increase. Why? Plants are helping us.
