(A) Map of landcover in northeast Ohio according to Landfire National Vegetation Classification (NVC) subclass type with white points indicating camera-trap locations in the Cleveland Metroparks. (B) Enlargement of the area of the white square in (A), displaying a single camera trap location with the 500-m radius buffer that we used to estimate landcover and enhanced vegetation index surrounding each camera station.

🆕 in Ecosphere's #MacrosystemsEcology track: A Cleveland Metroparks study finds deer lean into suburbia for forage (& maybe safety from predators)

📄White-tailed deer preferentially use areas with greater anthropogenic development in a suburban metropark system

(a) Example of long-term average, seasonal drought propagation for atmospheric demand (−PET), precipitation (Precip.), shallow soil moisture (SM), deep SM, and streamflow for a single high-elevation pixel in the Upper Donner und Blitzen watershed. (b) Example of moving window analysis to characterize the relationship between terrestrial and aquatic drought for a single high-elevation pixel in the Upper Donner und Blitzen watershed (as in panel a).

🆕 in Ecosphere's #MacrosystemsEcology track: How closely do soil moisture & streamflow sync up over time? A close look at seasonal dry-down

📄Aridity reduces lag times between aquatic and terrestrial dry-down among watersheds and across years in the northwest US

Team presentation

I had the opportunity to attend the NEON convergence Summit 2025 at #CUboulder 🌍📊
This summit brought together scientists working on #macrosystemsEcology, #biodiversity, #continentalScaleBiology using #NEON.
