Cooperative Agreement L10AC20305

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $210,322 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) to conduct collaborative research on how local adaptation and climatic extremes will shape continental-scale changes in the distribution and abundance of two common tundra plant species under climate change. The award will fund long-term monitoring of wild populations of Silene acaulis...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey's National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) will develop predictive models to forecast geographic range shifts of one native plant species (paper birch) and one invasive species (common tansy) in Minnesota due to climate change. The $195,153.42 award to the Regents of the University of Minnesota will incorporate data from manipulative climate change experiments to account for local adaptation and...

This $159,804 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research study to synthesize long-term, multi-site data on the demographic responses of two tundra plant species to environmental variation across western North America. The goal is to understand how climate-driven changes in survival, growth, and reproduction of these plant populations could impact their geographical ranges. The research team at the...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $293,033 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to examine how plant diversity impacts the resilience of forests to climate change. The award is made through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The project will analyze field data, forest inventories,...

This $442,310 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology supports a 5-year field research study on the Scarlet Monkeyflower (Mimulus cardinalis), a plant species found across varied climates in western North America. The research aims to understand how different climates influence the survival, growth, and reproduction of this plant species, and how this affects population persistence in the face of climate change. The study involves...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years starting June 1, 2025 to investigate how an alpine plant species in the Rocky Mountains will respond and adapt to climate change. The research aims to understand how population responses to microclimate variation impact range shifts under climate change scenarios. The project will use field and greenhouse experiments, genetic analyses, and...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $121,025 to the New York Botanical Garden to understand the effects of ploidal level on plant responses to global change. The research will investigate how polyploidy affects fern species' ability to respond to increased temperature and decreased water availability through drought simulations. Gene expression and physiological responses to drought and heat will be measured for six...

This $258,400 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program aims to quantify climate-induced range shifts in native and non-native species to inform effective management. The key activities include: Identifying high-priority areas for range shift research and management by combining biogeographical patterns with spatial connectivity analysis. Utilizing advanced methodologies to integrate...

This $129,702 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research between the University of Miami and its sub-awardee to test for the acclimation of individual tropical rainforest trees to over four decades of climate change through a longitudinal study. The research aims to improve understanding of how Amazonian tree species have responded or not responded to climate change and the consequences for species performance and...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $487,639 to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct long-term monitoring and research on plant community dynamics in the Colorado alpine biome. The project aims to assemble a unique long-term dataset on population and community changes in response to rapid environmental changes, such as climate change, to advance ecological theory and forecasting. Key activities...
