The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $297,571 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Michigan State University. The award, which runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028, will fund collaborative research to investigate how the structural and functional diversity of forest canopies influences ecological climate and its impacts on plant and animal habitats. The project will leverage data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $134,250 awarded on January 1, 2023 will fund research examining the roles of stochasticity and spatial context in the dynamics of functional diversity in stream ecosystems under global change. The research will be conducted through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) in collaboration between the University of Maryland Baltimore County and the University System of Maryland. The project aims to advance understanding of how community size...
This $256,599 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research to investigate the role of tree carbohydrate dynamics in drought recovery mechanisms. The project aims to develop the ability to remotely measure tree carbohydrates using hyperspectral imaging and predict drought recovery and survival before drought onset. Key research activities include greenhouse and field studies to examine how maintaining higher pre-drought...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023.
