Description

The Okmulgee Forest, particularly oak trees, declined in health during the drought conditions and resulting fungus infestation of hypoxylon canker during 2008 through 2012, as shown in an earlier poster (Cook and Stoffel, 2013). The forest has recovered some since then, but not fully. We use SGP EF21 ARM data from 2008 through 2017 to look for evidence of recovery in radiation and eddy correlation flux measurements.
