The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) was awarded a $359,911 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct research titled "Collaborative Research: Plant Phenology, Local Adaptation, and Growing Season Length in the Changing Arctic Tundra" from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024.
Under this award, MBL will lead collaborative research to strengthen understanding of how plant phenology, local adaptation, and growing season length in the Arctic tundra are changing with climate warming and increased shrub and tree growth. The research aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the Arctic region, as called for under the NSF's Polar Programs grant program. The $359,911 in funding will support MBL's analysis of this topic over the three-year period of performance ending in September 2024.
