Uriarte M, Tang C, Morton D, Zimmerman J, Zheng T
Ecol Evol . 2023 Nov; 13(11):e10776. PMID: 38020686
Projected increases in hurricane intensity under a warming climate will have profound effects on many forest ecosystems. One key challenge is to disentangle the effects of wind damage from the...

Andela N, Morton D, Schroeder W, Chen Y, Brando P, Randerson J
Sci Adv . 2022 Jul; 8(30):eabd2713. PMID: 35905176
Exceptional fire activity in 2019 sparked concern about Amazon forest conservation. However, the inability to rapidly separate satellite fire detections by fire type hampered fire suppression and assessment of ecosystem...

Chen Y, Hantson S, Andela N, Coffield S, Graff C, Morton D, et al.
Sci Data . 2022 May; 9(1):249. PMID: 35637186
Changing wildfire regimes in the western US and other fire-prone regions pose considerable risks to human health and ecosystem function. However, our understanding of wildfire behavior is still limited by...

Rappaport D, Swain A, Fagan W, Dubayah R, Morton D
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Apr; 119(18):e2102878119. PMID: 35471905
Safeguarding tropical forest biodiversity requires solutions for monitoring ecosystem structure over time. In the Amazon, logging and fire reduce forest carbon stocks and alter habitat, but the long-term consequences for...

Li Y, Brando P, Morton D, Lawrence D, Yang H, Randerson J
Nat Commun . 2022 Apr; 13(1):1964. PMID: 35413947
Biophysical effects from deforestation have the potential to amplify carbon losses but are often neglected in carbon accounting systems. Here we use both Earth system model simulations and satellite-derived estimates...

Lagomasino D, Fatoyinbo T, Castaneda-Moya E, Cook B, Montesano P, Neigh C, et al.
Nat Commun . 2021 Jun; 12(1):4003. PMID: 34183663
Mangroves buffer inland ecosystems from hurricane winds and storm surge. However, their ability to withstand harsh cyclone conditions depends on plant resilience traits and geomorphology. Using airborne lidar and satellite...

van Wees D, van der Werf G, Randerson J, Andela N, Chen Y, Morton D
Glob Chang Biol . 2021 Mar; 27(11):2377-2391. PMID: 33694227
Fires, among other forms of natural and anthropogenic disturbance, play a central role in regulating the location, composition and biomass of forests. Understanding the role of fire in global forest...

Taylor-Rodriguez D, Finley A, Datta A, Babcock C, Andersen H, Cook B, et al.
Stat Sin . 2020 Dec; 29:1155-1180. PMID: 33311955
Gathering information about forest variables is an expensive and arduous activity. As such, directly collecting the data required to produce high-resolution maps over large spatial domains is infeasible. Next generation...

Chen Y, Randerson J, Coffield S, Foufoula-Georgiou E, Smyth P, Graff C, et al.
J Adv Model Earth Syst . 2020 Oct; 12(9):e2019MS001955. PMID: 33042387
Fire emissions of gases and aerosols alter atmospheric composition and have substantial impacts on climate, ecosystem function, and human health. Warming climate and human expansion in fire-prone landscapes exacerbate fire...
