This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey's National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) provides $137,288 to North Carolina State University, with a sub-award to the University of Puerto Rico, for a 2-year project titled "Invasive Vines - Host Interactions Vary Along Broad Environmental Gradients: Integrating Remote Sensing and Species Distribution Models to Understand Large-Scale Shifts Driven by Climate and Land-Use Change."

The key objectives of the project are to: 1) Integrate species distribution models (SDMs) and remote sensing (RS) to evaluate how biotic variables, such as host species and co-occurring vines, can improve estimates of invasive vine spread; 2) Incorporate a social dimension to better understand vine-human interactions; and 3) Foster regional collaborations around this shared issue. The project activities include literature reviews by undergraduate students, two 6-day winter institutes in Puerto Rico for graduate students and researchers, and outreach to diverse stakeholders to understand the impacts of and management strategies for invasive vines.
