Dear all,
Please join us for an NCEAS Roundtable tomorrow (Wednesday, June 18th)
at 12:15 pm.
Dr. Stephanie Pau
Assistant Professor
Florida State University
will present a seminar on:
"The response of tropical forests to changes in cloud cover"**
Abstract:
Tropical forests are incredibly dynamic, exhibiting both rapid and
long-term changes in growth, mortality, reproductive activity, and
primary productivity.Cloud cover and light availability have been shown
to strongly influence tropical forests, however, at the ecosystem scale
the competing effects of light, temperature and precipitation have been
difficult to assess.In this talk I will present work using satellite
measures of cloud cover to compare the response of seasonally dry and
wet tropical forests from three regions, the Hawaiian Islands, U.S.A.,
Barro Colorado Island, Panama, and Luquillo, Puerto Rico.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
