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 Hurricane Maria in 2017. The project aims to characterize and predict forest resilience to climate change by including improved representation of tree hydraulics and hurricane damage effects in an ecosystem demography model. Nine early career scientists will gain experience in ecological research. Webinars will also communicate results to the public. Findings will help advance assessment of climate change scenario impacts on tree species composition and carbon dynamics in the Luquillo Experimental Forest.
