Zhuohong gave a talk on our most recently products of tree species across NEON sites, entitled “Integrating Ground and Aerial Data: Continental-Scale Mapping of Forest Biodiversity across the U.S. National Ecological Observatory Network”. Zhuohong also had a poster, entitled “Unequal Urban Greening Revealed by the First Sub-Meter Vegetation Map of the U.S.”.
Zhuohong’s presentation focused on using deep learning for tree species classifcation.
Rongfei gave a talk on the urban cooling impacts from different functional traits “Unequal Benefits of Urban Tree Diversity: Understanding Species Composition and Cooling Efficiency Across U.S. Neighborhoods”.
Rongfei’s talk intergrates remote sensing with ground-based street trees to understand different traits' cooling capacity
.
Hanshi presented a poster at the Dryland ecosystem session, entitled “Ecological Restoration and Its Impacts on Ecosystem Functioning in Sub-Saharan Woodland Ecosystems”.

Yu Shen had two posters at the phenology and fire session, entitled “Divergent vegetation recovery responses to fire occurrence timings” and “Carryover effects in tree phenology offset productivity losses from late spring frosts”, respectively.

Tong gave a talk at the phenology session, entitled “Impacts of spring green-up on tree reproduction in the temperate and boreal forests”.
Tong’s talk focused on MASTIF and remotely sensed phenology
He also organized two sessions, “High-Resolution Modeling and Untangling Atmosphere-Hydrology-Ecology Interactions” and “Ecological Forecasting in Managed and Natural Systems: Hydrology, Agriculture, and the Earth System”.
