Summer 2015 – Studying Giant Sequoia responses to drought

Stefania Mambelli Lab News August 27, 2015October 22, 2015

Anthony, Wendy and Todd are trying to get a better understanding of how Giant Sequoia trees in the Sierra Nevada respond to severe drought. Check this out at http://kvpr.org/post/drought-killing-giant-sequoias
