- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $240,000 in funding from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the "escalator to extinction" phenomenon in tropical mountain ecosystems. The research aims to establish the mechanistic drivers behind shifts in species distributions and community changes in response to climate change in biodiverse tropical...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $472,614 to Cornell University from July 2022 through June 2026 to study the impacts of severe drought on tropical forest post-disturbance recovery. Specifically, the researchers are conducting a rainfall manipulation experiment in a forest in Puerto Rico that is recovering from Hurricane Maria in 2017. The project aims to characterize and predict forest resilience to climate change by...
- This $372,663 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems will fund research into drought and cold resistance of northeastern US tree species. The grant is part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and enhance understanding of major problems. Specifically, the grant will fund extensive field measurements and a manipulative experiment to...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded $188,656 under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the University of Georgia Research Foundation from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2026. This Project Grant will support collaborative research evaluating how iron cycling impacts the temperature sensitivity of heterotrophic respiration in humid tropical soils over time. The research combines field experiments leveraging the Tropical Responses to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) project grant, awarded to the University of Puerto Rico - Rio Piedras Campus, provides $150,000.00 over five years from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2028. The project conducts collaborative research to understand how the timing and success of reproduction in tropical plants varies due to within-year seasonality, multi-year climate cycles, and the effects of climate change. The research takes place at three tropical...
- This $861,035 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research into how mature trees in the Amazon rainforest are adapting to rising temperatures. Researchers at the University of Miami will conduct field studies around Peru's "Boiling River", a unique geothermal area that mimics the predicted future temperature conditions for much of the Amazon. The key objectives are to 1) map the environmental conditions in...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $330,717 Project Grant to Wake Forest University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support the research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI: WILL CLIMATE CHANGE LEAD TO SYSTEM SHIFTS ON TROPICAL MOUNTAINS?: THE INTERPLAY OF EPIPHYTE LOSSES ON HOST TREE FUNCTION, MICROCLIMATE, AND HYDROLOGY" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025. The goal of this research project is to study how climate change may lead to system shifts on tropical mountains by examining the interplay of epiphyte losses on host tree function, microclimate, and hydrology. Specifically, the university will conduct field research on tropical mountain ecosystems to understand how losses of epiphytic plants from host trees due to climate change can impact tree health and physiology, local microclimate conditions, and watershed-level hydrology. Insights from this collaboration are intended to advance scientific knowledge of major problems confronting biodiversity and ecosystem services in tropical mountains under a changing climate.
