This federal contract award is a $822,872.01 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park. The research aims to gain a better understanding of the impacts of forest edges on forest structure through the use of remote sensing data. Key activities include mapping global forest edges, analyzing the effects of climate and adjacent land use on edge environments, and developing a model to relate climate, time since edge creation, and other factors to forest structure variables. The research is expected to provide benefits to conservation researchers and managers by improving tools to predict habitat suitability and changes in fragmented forests over time. The award does not have a set-aside designation.
