This $398,374 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project examining factors that drive the regeneration of forests in developing regions that have been deforested. The research combines satellite imagery and ethnographic methods to analyze how rural-to-urban land sales and the priorities of urban landowners contribute to tree cover gain. The project will expand geographic...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $655,059 supports research on the socio-environmental dynamics of timberlands in northern Maine under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The University of Georgia Research Foundation will lead efforts with subawards to the University of Maine, Harvard University, Appalachian State University, and the University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The project will analyze the social and ecological consequences of transitions in timberland...
This $654,781 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund collaborative research on continent-wide forest recruitment change and its interactions with climate, habitat, and consumers. Duke University will lead efforts to quantify current trends in tree seed production, seedling establishment, and recruitment rates across North America. Researchers will link these forest recruitment stages to climate and habitat variables and the...
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro received a $353,216 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on June 15, 2021 to support research concluding on May 31, 2024. The grant funds basic research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study large wood in low-gradient floodplain rivers, specifically examining the spatial distribution, physical controls, and geomorphic effects of large woody material. The Geosciences program aims to...
This $333,092 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at North Carolina State University to quantify tree recruitment and vertebrate consumer relationships across North America. The research will collect extensive gradient sampling data on tree fecundity, recruitment stages from seed supply to seedling establishment to advanced regeneration, and vertebrate activity linked to climate and habitat variables. Predictive...
This $211,743 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reduce uncertainties in tree-ring records of wet extremes to aid interpretations of past climate and plan for future changes. The primary objectives are to: Use dendrometers to measure how tree growth responds to changes in precipitation frequency, intensity, and timing at sites in the AmeriFlux network. Reconstruct wet extremes of precipitation from previously collected tree-ring...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $188,280 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota. The grant supports a two-year planning effort to assess the synergies and trade-offs between the benefits and burdens of urban trees and forests. Key objectives include: (i) analyzing the convergent conditions of tree-related ecosystem services and disservices in metropolitan regions, (ii) evaluating tree species-level vulnerability to...
This $1,599,825 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Barbara. The award aims to advance scientific theories and models of land use forecasting by integrating diverse, multi-scale data into dynamic prediction models to inform sustainable land use plans and prevent biodiversity and ecosystem service loss. The research will co-design decision support tools with scientists and policymakers in...
This $670,495 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research into drought and cold resistance in Northeastern U.S. tree species. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of New Hampshire will lead a collaborative effort to investigate how Northeastern tree species respond to drought and how those adaptations impact vulnerability to other climate stressors like extreme cold. The research team will conduct extensive field measurements of drought-related...
This $126,270 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop new capabilities to monitor and understand forest carbon dynamics in the Earth system. The key products and services to be delivered include: Cross-platform and cross-region learning frameworks to enable fine-scale carbon dynamics monitoring at large geographic scales. High-fidelity fast approximations of theory-based carbon forecasting models using new meta-learning...
