Researchers from Institute of Botany make significant progress on investigating the relative vulnerability of giant sequoia groves to a warming climate and multi-year dry periods
Giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) trees, the sole living species in the genus Sequoiadendron, are among the largest trees and the oldest living things on Earth. However, with the global climate change, the current natural distribution of giant sequoia trees is restricted to an area of about 150 km2 on the western slopes of California’s Sierra […]
The results about retrieving leaf area index using a terrestrial laser scanner are published in the journal of ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
Supported by the National Key Basic Research Program of China (project number 2013CB956604), National Science Foundation of China (project numbers 41471363, 31270563 and 41401505), and National Science Foundation (DBI 1356077), our group developed a new method to retrieve gap fraction, clumping index and leaf area index using the point cloud data generated from terrestrial […]

Dr. Jin Wu was invited to give a lecture on May 14th, 2018
Tropical forest photosynthetic metabolism helps sustain the ecosystem productivity and biodiversity, and largely regulates large-scale carbon and water cycling, generating various important climate feedbacks at regional and global scales. However, considerable uncertainties remain regarding how best to represent tropical forest photosynthesis in current Earth system models (ESMs), especially its sensitivity to climatic vs. biotic variation. […]
