Even trees 'hold their breath' to avoid harmful wildfire smoke, research finds
Trees don't like to breathe wildfire smoke, either.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Environmental and Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Colorado State University. My research with the Farmer Group focuses on the intersection between plants and the atmosphere. I’m particularly interested in how our changing climate impacts the chemicals that plants emit, and how those chemicals impact the climate. I study how our changing climate impacts plants, which in turn impact the atmosphere. My research takes me everywhere from the lab to the greenhouse to forests in pursuit of learning the complex means by which environmental perturbations change leaf-level emissions.
