In collaboration with Ulli Seibt in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, La Kretz Postdoc Alex Pivovaroff installed permanent flow-through chambers that measure carbon and water fluxes for native chaparral shrubs at the Stunt Ranch Reserve. These chambers continuously monitor gas exchange, providing a powerful look into how these species respond to their environment throughout the year.
