Principal Investigator : Jeremy James Blue oak (Quercus douglasii) is one of the most widespread oak species in the lower elevation sierra foothill and coast range, providing critical habitat for numerous species and representing an important functional group in theses systems.

Principal Investigator: Valerie Eviner In most ecosystems, litter senesced at the end of the growing season is assumed to be the main source of carbon and recycled nutrients.

Principal Investigator: Jeremy James Between 2012 and 2014 the California Floristic Province, a priority hot spot for global biodiversity conservation, has experienced the hottest and driest period on record.

Principal Investigator: Dan Macon Evidence is rapidly mounting indicating that co-occurring periods of precipitation deficit and warm temperatures are human caused and likely to increase over the next century resulting in levels of drought intensity and duration rivaling those documented in the pale...

Principal Investigator: Elsa Cleland Our experiment at Sierra Foothill is one of more than 70 replicated experiments on 6 continents in the globally-distributed Nutrient Network One goal of this project is to contribute towards a general understanding of grassland biodiversity and productivity and t...

Principal Investigator: Jeremy James This project will be the first to demonstrate the use of food waste compost, and comparisons with livestock/green waste compost, on California rangelands.

Principal Investigator: Lauren Hallett Semi-arid rangelands are principally managed for forage, while providing ecosystem services such as plant diversity and soil carbon sequestration. There is growing political support in California to compensate ranchers for managing for soil carbon.

Principal Investigator: Jeremy James Between 2012 and 2014 California experienced conditions that were warmer and drier than any period over the last 1200 years.

Principal Investigator: Valerie Eviner Many governmental and non-governmental entities that manage invasive plant species in wild land settings are being pressured by a range of interest groups to stop using all conventional herbicides.
