The National Science Foundation awarded a $263,080 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of March 1, 2021 through February 28, 2023. The grant supports a collaborative research effort titled "A Mechanistic Approach to Assess the Impacts of Hurricanes on Tropical Forests." Under the award, Columbia University will analyze pre- and post-hurricane lidar data collected over the Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot...
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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $193,752 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund collaborative research from July 2022 through June 2026 to study the impacts of severe drought on tropical forest post-disturbance recovery in Puerto Rico. Specifically, researchers will conduct a rainfall manipulation experiment in a forest recovering from...
The University of Puerto Rico received a three-year, $447,593 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: A MECHANISTIC APPROACH TO ASSESS THE IMPACTS OF HURRICANES ON TROPICAL FORESTS." The grant period runs from March 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. As part of the Biological Sciences program's goal to strengthen the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $562,254 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The purpose of this 3-year grant, with an award date of February 1, 2024, is to use stable oxygen isotopes measured in tree-ring cellulose across the tropical Americas to reconstruct wet season precipitation variability over the past 200 years. This research aims to gain insights into large-scale tropical climate...
This $129,702 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research between the University of Miami and its sub-awardee to test for the acclimation of individual tropical rainforest trees to over four decades of climate change through a longitudinal study. The research aims to improve understanding of how Amazonian tree species have responded or not responded to climate change and the consequences for species performance and...
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 $307,095 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program supports a 2-year research project at the University of Puerto Rico - Rio Piedras Campus. The project aims to investigate the ecophysiological responses of two key tree species in Caribbean tidal freshwater wetlands to the impacts of climate change, including warmer temperatures and increased salinity. Using field observations and greenhouse...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $231,060 over 5 years to Lewis & Clark College to research the long-term dynamics of tropical forest regeneration across sites in Ecuador, Puerto Rico, and Panama. The project aims to understand how variations in environmental conditions and climate patterns, including seasonality and multi-year cycles, impact the timing and success of plant...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $480,484 supports research to understand drought and post-drought legacy effects in tropical forests. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of California, Los Angeles will leverage a large-scale drought experiment in an Amazon forest in Brazil. Researchers will integrate high-resolution tower-based radar data measuring vegetation water content at finer scales than satellites. This will be compared with plant...
