Email: geleynse <at> wisc.edu My research will focus on the role of fog water in mitigating the effects of drought on coastal tree species. It is thought that fog water can 1) be taken up directly via foliage and used to refill embolized xylem conduits, 2) largely eliminate atmospheric vapor pressure deficit that drives evaporation …
Email: atgoke<at>wisc.edu Conifers inhabit some of the most extreme climate regions of the globe illustrating their immense physiological adaptations to support the greatest known extents of tree growth. In these environments, strong directional selection is thought to reduce plasticity and restrict a species ability to acclimate to multiple biotic stressors, such as combined shade and …
