This $166,530.21 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey's National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program will fund a research project at the University of Massachusetts to evaluate the suitability of southern-adapted plant species for supporting pollinators in the northeastern U.S. under projected climate change conditions.

The project will experimentally assess how seed provenance and exposure to simulated heat waves impact the ability of three common ornamental plant species to support the reproduction of the native Eastern Bumble Bee. The research aims to provide climate-smart planting recommendations that can help pollinators establish in the Northeast as the climate warms. The work will result in peer-reviewed publications, fact sheets, and webinars to disseminate the findings to private and public entities engaged in pollinator habitat establishment.
