UA School of Natural Resources and the Environment

From harnessing solar power for food production to using drones to monitor crops, @UArizona is shaping the future of agriculture. See how the university is helping our state's agricultural industry produce more food using less water: ow.ly/wyX150ULmUw

Happy to share a new paper, "Effects of Hot Versus Dry Vapor Pressure Deficit on Ecosystem Carbon and Water Fluxes," led by the amazing @miriam_johnst w/ @peedublya @mallory_barnes @yakir_pr and others agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20… @UASNRE @UArizonaCALES

A Regents' Research Grant study identified watering practices that can save 1,700 gallons of water per tree each year. The @ASU and @UArizona researchers aim to develop scalable, low-tech irrigation that can be used in backyards and by cities: ow.ly/HoeW50UgWRS

“This project would further establish the University of Arizona as a global hub for dryland research,” said Dave Moore, professor, program chair and researcher. ARID is one of only two projects that were invited to scope out a full project report under NASA’s Terrestrial Ecology program. research.arizona.edu/news/bringing-…

Happy to share our new @Nature paper, "Large global-scale vegetation sensitivity to daily rainfall variability," led by the amazing @a_feldman24 w/ @PierreGentine @ecohydro_wang and others. @UASNRE @UArizonaCALES nature.com/articles/s4158…

Happy to share a new @ESA_org #EcoApp paper, "Ecosystem service indicators on military-managed drylands in the Western United States," led by Sam Jordan and w/ @osvaldosala @SERDP_ESTCP @UASNRE @UArizonaCALES

Today, @ASU and @UArizona scientists shared their study on improved urban water use practices. The research identified watering practices that could result in: 💰Lower costs 💧Improved water conservation 🌳More shade More on the Regents' Research Grant: ow.ly/eFOe50U6x7Y

This week, the American Society of Landscape Architects presented researchers from @ASU and @UArizona with a Honor Award for their work on smart tree watering techniques. They discovered methods that used 60% less water: ow.ly/FjpP50TBsHr

Happy to share a new lab @PlantCellEnvir paper, "Direct and Legacy Effects of Varying Cool-Season Precipitation Totals on Ecosystem Carbon Flux in a Semi-Arid Mixed Grassland," led by Fangyue Zhang and w/ @ecology_awesome and others @UASNRE @UArizonaCALES onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc…

With the help of a Regents' Research Grant, researchers at @ASU and @UArizona have been testing out different smart tree watering strategies that are scalable and cost effective. The research will help keep shade trees healthy with less water: ow.ly/hV4c50TGgg3

We’re excited to share some of the insights we’ve learned over the past 4.5 years from our Border Wildlife Study — so come join us for our next virtual Coffee Break on Oct. 24 at 9:30 a.m.: ow.ly/g3aB50TAItc. #SkyIslands #USMexicoBorder #BorderWildlifeStudy

Join us for the 12th Annual Insect Festival this Sunday, October 6th from 10am to 3pm at the ENR2 building on the university campus. Learn all about our insects, participate in interactive exhibits, and find some good food! See you there! arizonainsectfestival.org

“Desert Geniuses” abound in @UArizonaCALES - congratulations to two of our foremost, Theresa Crimmins and Michael Kotutwa Johnson, for being chosen to present Oct. 18 during the TEDxUofA! news.arizona.edu/employee-news/….

#NEW @ASU and @UArizona researchers received national recognition from @NationalASLA for their smart tree watering project. Funded by a Regents' Research Grant, the project discovered methods that use nearly 60% less water than drip irrigation. More: ow.ly/FjpP50TBsHr
