Upset about federal funding cuts in the US? Want some ideas of what to do? I wrote a long-ish blog post about it here

How does #hyperspectral leaf reflectance vary with functional traits, site, and evolutionary lineage in #grasses? New paper, part of a special issue "Advancing Spectral Biology to Understand Plant Diversity Across Scales", check it out: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Thermal infrared remote sensing, both from space and near Earth’s surface, is unlocking new ways to study ecosystems, from individual leaves to entire landscapes, write @mostafaj.bsky.social, @stephpau.bsky.social, and colleagues. eos.org/science-upda...
Sensing Potential, Scientists Refine Thermal Imaging of Ecosystems - Eos
At a recent “bake-off,” researchers judged thermal infrared cameras and developed guidelines for their consistent use in studying vegetation temperatures, which illuminate vital ecosystem processes.

A Point Reyes era to end as ranchers prepare to pack up, leave
Since 1817, people have operated ranches on land that eventually became Point Reyes National Seashore. Now, they must leave.
