Very happy to share this new article on Andes-Amazon tree diversity change. We found that over the last 4 decades, tree richness changed differently across the Andes-Amazon regions. Thanks to the many researchers across the world who made this possible!

Keep reading!
Tree diversity is changing in the Amazon and Andes.

Hot, drier, more fragmented forests are losing species. Many in the Andes + western Amazon are gaining them.

Picture of a smiling person holding up a copy of a book.
First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that.
This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.
