Could not think of a more deserving scientist! Sasha is always doing a ton of incredible science and excelling and supporting those around her while she does it. Congrats!!

Always delightful to hear Kristina Young talk about biocrusts 🤩 #ESA2024

I’m presenting undergrad research I did at The Evergreen State College on the long term nutrient cycling effects of prescribed burns in native PNW grassland prairies today at #ESA2024! Room 103A at 4:30p. Come on by! ESA Biogeoscience

📣Attention #biocrust researchers (at all career stages!) We're having our second international biocrust reading group next week! August 20th at 16:00 GMT. We'll be discussing the below paper. Message me or Michala Phillips if you want to join! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

WOOHOO, some of my favorite federal scientists, who I know will bring great advice, thoughtful perspectives, and useful insights for those thinking about a career as a federal scientist. Join us! #ScienceForThePeople!

Woohooo join us!!

We had a big week in the field deploying sensor arrays for a drought and restoration experiment we are setting up later this year. A visit from Cara Lauria made it all possible! Lots of soldering in the rain and carrying cinder blocks 🫠

48 hours later, another flash flood today. You smell it before you hear it — You hear it before you see it and when you see that wall of water coming……with such force, it’s like seeing God, you cannot look away.

Soil health as a driver of plant productivity. Our new paper in NatureEcoEvo using data from >500 sites and 27 European countries shows that soil health is associated with higher primary productivity. see: nature.com/articles/s4155… Variables of soil fertility including total N

Field #werk! Some of the high elevation sites like Kaiholena is night and day of fenced (left) and unfenced (right) healthy forests vs ROD graveyards. Fences are amazing at keeping out feral ungulates and invasive plants! Now we’re going to find out the beetle situation here!
