The University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) has been awarded a $716,186 project grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The grant supports research to investigate the impacts of climate change on California's oak rangelands, with a focus on the drought tolerance and genetic adaptations of the blue oak species. The proposed research will evaluate the potential for "assisted gene flow" - the transfer of genetic material from historically warmer to cooler sites - to increase the resilience of oak populations to climate change. UCSC is partnering with the non-profit organization Point Reyes Bird Observatory (doing business as Point Blue Conservation Science) to conduct field monitoring of transplanted oak seedlings across multiple locations. This work aims to provide critical data on whether relocated oak individuals can survive and thrive in new climates projected to become warmer and drier in the future. The 3-year project is expected to be completed by June 2027.
