How well can we classify grasses at *sub-meter* resolution?? Read work led by former student Ryan Slapikas here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Sub-pixel detection of dominant grass evolutionary lineages at four sites across the Great Plains, U.S. using hyperspectral data
Grasslands exhibit high taxonomic and functional diversity, particularly at fine spatial scales, posing challenges for remote sensing due to patchiness and species turnover. The spatial resolution ...

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 ecoevoevoeco.blogspot.com summarizing things I learned meeting with Senate & House aides this week with the @aibsbiology.bsky.social Congressional Visits Day event.

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.

Mom went to school in Tomales with these ranchers. So sad end. Not sure what the right answer is. Experts tell me these lands need grazing A Point Reyes era to end as ranchers prepare to pack up, leave www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/nati...
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.
