Research summary

Morgan E. Furze studies how trees, grapevines, and other woody plants store and use carbon, particularly in the form of nonstructural carbohydrates (sugars and starches kept in reserve). This work looks at how factors like drought, heat waves, disease, and climate warming affect a plant's internal carbon budget, growth, and crop yield in species ranging from forest trees to almonds and wine grapes. The research combines field measurements, seasonal monitoring, and tracer experiments to understand how plants survive and produce yield under environmental stress.
