The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a $171,561 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems to conduct research on how trees invest in chemical defenses across a gradient of physiological drought stress. The grant was awarded on April 1, 2021 with a completion date of November 30, 2021.
The research funded under this award will provide insights into how trees live within carbon and water budgets, and adapt chemical defenses in response to drought conditions. It aims to increase scientific knowledge of a major problem confronting the nation by furthering understanding of tree responses to water stress. The grant is part of the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic research to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise.
