PhD Student at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Community and ecosystem ecology, functional traits, restoration. Views are my own. www.advyth.com
At #SER2025 and interested in plant functional traits or urban forests? Come see my talk at 11 — 11:15 in: S.31 - Urban Ecosystem Restoration as Climate Action and Equity-Centered Community Development. I will discuss a study that quantifies differences in tree species impacts on air temperature!
