New paper: Low predictability of energy balance traits and leaf temperature metrics in desert, montane and alpine plant communities

We just had a new paper come out in Functional Ecology on predicting leaf temperatures and the functional traits that influence it. The paper is the outcome of fieldwork we did in 2016 in Colorado with Sabastian Escobar, Rozalia Kapas, and Sean Michaletz. It’s been a long road to get it published! You can read more about the study in an interview/blog post I did with the journal.

The paper is available at the publisher and the lab website.
