Overview

J. D. Wood is affiliated with the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom and has contributed extensively to the field of Environmental Science. Their work spans several interconnected subfields, including Global and Planetary Change, Ecology, Atmospheric Science, Plant Science, and Nature and Landscape Conservation.

Wood's research primarily focuses on topics related to Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics, Remote Sensing in Agriculture, Atmospheric and Environmental Gas Dynamics, Tree-ring climate responses, Fire effects on ecosystems, Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics, and Soil Moisture and Remote Sensing.

Their publication record includes papers in notable scientific venues, with frequent contributions to Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, where they have published eight papers. Additional venues include the Journal of Geophysical Research Biogeosciences, OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information), Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), and Global Change Biology.

Recent notable publications by Wood include:

  • Representativeness of Eddy-Covariance flux footprints for areas surrounding AmeriFlux sites (2021, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology)
  • Detecting forest response to droughts with global observations of vegetation water content (2021, Global Change Biology)
  • Confronting the water potential information gap (2022, Nature Geoscience)
  • Mild water and salt stress improve water use efficiency by decreasing stomatal conductance via osmotic adjustment in field maize (2021, The Science of The Total Environment)
  • Unpacking the drivers of diurnal dynamics of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF): Canopy structure, plant physiology, instrument configuration and retrieval methods (2021, Remote Sensing of Environment)

Wood has collaborated frequently with several researchers including Lianhong Gu, Timothy J. Griffis, Christian Frankenberg, Kimberly A. Novick, and Peter D. Blanken. Their collaborations reflect interdisciplinary approaches across environmental and plant sciences.
