Excited to share our new Fire Ecology study! 🌲🔥 Terrestrial lidar can rapidly and accurately measure crown scorch 20x faster than traditional methods. Our R package, CrownScorchTLS, helps make this method accessible for large-scale forest monitoring.

We’re excited to welcome Khanh Ton to the Landscape Ecology lab! 🌲 Khanh joins as Geospatial Analyst, bringing expertise in drones, lidar & satellite imagery to advance longleaf pine conservation. You can get to know Khanh and read more about her work 👉 lab.jonesctr.org/landscape-ec...

Our study on helping pine forests endure hurricanes was featured in an issue of The Longleaf Alliance magazine. Originally publised in Forest Ecology and Management we show how managing density, promoting tree taper, and reducing fragmentation boosts wind resistance.

🌲💧 Check out this new work from our team, where we explore how forest restoration of open-pine systems, including loblolly and longleaf pine, can be strategically placed to boost streamflow. 📖 Read more in Scientific Reports: rdcu.be/eumhw

🔥 New study: 85% of remaining #LongleafPine habitat faces tropical storm-force winds every 6 years. We explore how #storms, #fire, insects, and salvage logging interact to shape resilience—and what managers can do about it. bit.ly/44QK3Uk Led by @nzampieri.bsky.social

Our work was recently covered on the Fire Ecology Chats podcast produced by AFE! Bob Keane interviews us on the findings from our study on a new method for modeling fine-scale variation in leaf litter which is important for fire behavior. Here it is on spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0nKD...

Last month I participated in a panel discussion with fellow hurricane researchers on dealing with challenges and opportunities for research in hurricane disturbed forests of the southeast! You can check out a free recording of the webinar here
