Two new papers in Ecology Letters and Nature Communications co-authored by Jonathan and William are featured in a Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment news story titled “Studies Find the Seeds of a Forest’s Renewal After Wildfire, Drought – A forest’s ability to regenerate after devastating wildfires, droughts or other disturbances depends largely on seed production. Findings from two new studies led by Duke University researchers could boost recovery and replanting after these disasters by providing foresters with new guidance on which tree species produce more seeds and how their productivity can vary from location to location.
