Progress Report
In 2022 we completed large sections of the literature review, started and then postponed—in part due to the UC strike—data collection; and earned a $5,000 grant. Happy holidays!
About This Project
California’s two redwood species presently stand as Earth’s tallest, largest, most carbon-sequestering, and nigh oldest trees; their family’s fossils occur nearly globally. To better understand California redwoods' physiology and taxonomy, we study their stomata—pores—over canopy height. Are variations in their leaf stomata adaptive for vertical growth? Can species in the family be defined by them?
