This $203,991 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs' Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund research tracking divergent warming and tree growth patterns at Arctic treeline forests through February 2025. The University of Arizona will leverage existing tree ring data and assess current hypotheses for divergence between temperature variability and growth rates observed in boreal forests since the mid-20th century. Researchers will use...
The National Science Foundation awarded $167,634 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks for the period of March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2025. The award will support collaborative research to better understand divergent tree growth patterns in Arctic treeline forests relative to temperature variability. The grantee will leverage an existing tree ring dataset and conduct fieldwork at key Alaskan and Canadian sites showing unusual...
The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) awarded a $999,554 Project Grant to the University of Illinois, Chicago to study the effects of yellow cypress decline on the coastal temperate rainforest climate in Southeast Alaska. The project will explore how the decline of this ecologically significant tree species will impact carbon storage and climate interactions in the region. Key components include: The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) will...
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 $383,639 National Science Foundation project grant through the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund research tracking divergent warming and tree growth patterns in Arctic treeline forests of northern North America. The three-year award made to Columbia University on March 1, 2022 will leverage a large tree-ring data compilation and statistical/modeling techniques to assess current hypotheses for divergence between temperature variability and tree growth rates...
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...
This Project Grant award for $692,182.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research to investigate the adaptive traits of tree species in the western United States and how they respond to severe drought and wildfires. The key objectives are to 1) quantify the adaptive traits of over 100 tree species, such as bark thickness, resprouting ability, and root depth, and publish the data in an open-access database, and 2) use...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $471,704 project grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--HIGH-RESOLUTION RECONSTRUCTION OF LAST MILLENNIUM NORTH AMERICAN ARCTIC TEMPERATURES USING QUANTITATIVE WOOD ANATOMY." The grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050) and will be completed by July 31, 2024. Through this funding, researchers at the University of Arizona will work to...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $800,670 will support research to extend tree-ring based reconstructions of Atlantic Gulf Basin hydroclimate over the Common Era. Led by the University of Arizona with completion expected by June 2025, the project aims to collect old-growth bald cypress and longleaf pine samples from trees harvested in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These extended tree-ring chronologies will be used to develop regional and seasonal hydroclimate...
This $642,666 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will fund research into fire-biotic disturbance interactions and their sensitivity to climate change in the North American boreal biome. The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Inc. will use computer simulations to better understand the impacts and threats of new pests, herbivores, and diseases in Alaskan boreal forests, and how these disturbances may interact with fire and climate to alter carbon storage. The...
