OverviewAI-generated summary

Daniela Granato‐Souza, an Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, focuses her research on dendrochronology and climate variability, particularly in tropical regions. Her work investigates how climate patterns, such as dry-season variability and precipitation totals, influence tree growth trajectories and ring width. She has published on the climate response of specific tree species, including *Cedrela fissilis* and *Cedrela odorata*, in regions like the Rio São Francisco Basin and the equatorial Amazon.

Granato‐Souza has received significant funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) as a Principal Investigator (PI) for collaborative research aimed at reconstructing and analyzing precipitation and streamflow in the Amazon River Basin. This work involves developing tree-ring chronologies to understand historical climate patterns and their impact on ecosystems, contributing to global change research.

Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 15, with over 33 publications and 634 citations. She leads a research group and collaborates with notable researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including David W. Stahle, Malcolm K. Cleaveland, and Ian M. Howard.
