New publication today from my lab in Water Resources Research, led by Mengyun Sun with Ashley Cao, Cynthia Gerlein-Safdi, and Max Berkelhammer. We provided a comprehensive review of the current status of dew research. It is open access. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Dew Characterization and its Ecological Effects on Vegetation: A Review

Dew is ubiquitous but also the least studied hydrological component in most ecosystems We provide a detailed synthesis of its ecological roles across scales from the leaf to the plant and ecosyst...

Excited to share our new lab publication led by Mengyun Sun in Nature Comm. Using flux-tower observations, we show that dew significantly increases ecosystem productivity, particularly in drylands. Co-authors: Wenzhe Jiao, Cynthia Gerlein-Safdi, Max Berkelhammer www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share a new publication from my group in New Phytologist today. This Tansley Review synthesizes recent advances in the impacts of fog and dew on ecosystem functions. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts

Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water-li...

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

Excited to share the lab's new publication in Comm. Earth and Environment on reconciling the long-standing mystery of hydrogen isotope offset between source waters and plant waters. A new framework, tested with global metadata. Led by my postdoc Yue Li, with Steve Good nature.com/articles/s43...

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. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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. analyticalsciencejournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

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...

Congratulations on my MS student Carlynn Diersing on passing her MS thesis defense today! Great job, Carlynn!

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 :)

Really interesting work here from @dficklin.bsky.social and a stellar cast of coauthors: 'Vegetation Greening Mitigates the Impacts of Increasing Extreme Rainfall on Runoff Events' agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Vegetation Greening Mitigates the Impacts of Increasing Extreme Rainfall on Runoff Events

The number and magnitude of extreme rainfall events are projected to increase throughout the global land surface Projected declines in event-based runoff ratio are found for a majority of the glo...

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. Led by Feldman, with Konings, Gentine, Cattry, Smith, Biederman, Chatterjee, Joiner & Poulter

Congratulations to two amazing women in Biogeochemistry — @ecology-awesome.bsky.social and Francesca Cotrufo — who were honored at #AGU24

We have an open postdoc position in the Quantitative Ecosystem Dynamics lab at UC Berkeley: forms.gle/Nx1EHYiCv3yR... in the areas of ecohydrology, land-atmosphere interactions, and global change ecology. Please spread the word!

I'm grateful for my university's storytelling regarding my #HighlyCited2024 recognition. science.indianapolis.iu.edu/about/news/a...

I'm excited to receive this prestigious recognition again, and I'm grateful to all my group members, mentors, and collaborators for making this happen!
