Photosynthetic carbon isotope discrimination in trees: observations, predictions, and drivers

Abstract: Under elevated CO2, photosynthetic carbon isotope discrimination is expected to increase in response to photosynthesis stimulation driven by the growth of atmospheric CO2. While this response is widely documented in laboratory, field experiments and short-term observations, long-term proxies indicate that such response is not universally observed in forested ecosystems.

Impact of persistent droughts on forests in Mediterranean Chile

Global warming is concurrently associated with a rise in occurrences of drought episodes in numerous regions worldwide, with central Chile a sad example. This region is the only Mediterranean bioregion of South America, which is considered a biodiversity hotspot due to high endemism levels and high anthropic pressure. These ecosystems since 2010 have been impacted by a period of below-average rainfall, a so-called Mega Drought (MD), so their contribution to the regional carbon sink is at risk.

Outreach AV check

Tour for students of UA Global Health Institute

Join us for our free docent-led tour at 10AM in the lobby of the Bryant Bannister Tree-Ring Building (1215 E. Lowell St.).

Visitors will be introduced to the basic tenets of dendrochronology and have a chance to examine specimens.

Space is limited and reservations are required. Please email outreach@ltrr.arizona.edu(link sends e-mail).
