• We read and discussed a paper of mechaism of tree mortality by McDowell et al. (2008). Very useful paper to learn a modern view of plant physiological response to drought. 
• Reference: McDowell  N, Pockman WT, Allen CD, Breshears DD, Cobb N, Kolb T, Plaut J, Sperry J, West A, Williams DG, Yepez EA. 2008. Mechanisms of plant survival and mortality during drought: why do some...

Koong shared his recent work of canopy temperature study that uses thermal infrared camera and sap flux measurement.

We are reading two papers:

1. Mohammed, G.H., Colombo, R., Middleton, E.M., Rascher, U., van der Tol, C., Nedbal, L., Goulas, Y., Pérez-Priego, O., Damm, A., Meroni, M. and Joiner, J., 2019. Remote sensing of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) in vegetation: 50 years of progress. Remote Sensing of Environment, 231, p.111-177.

This paper is one of the most comprehensive reviews on SIF (among other two, by Meroni et al., 2009 and Porcar-Castell et al., 2014). I highly recommend it for anyone who needs to learn...
