- 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 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 $1,207,852 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund a 5-year collaborative research project focused on understanding how landscape structure influences tropical forest regeneration in Madagascar. The project aims to investigate the direct and indirect effects of landscape properties like habitat amount, fragmentation, and matrix quality on seed dispersal and post-dispersal seedling recruitment in regenerating tropical forests. The...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $859,653 to the University of Texas at Austin from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2028. The funding supports research to develop and test models of tropical and temperate forest structure and dynamics through analysis of data from the Smithsonian's Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO) network. Investigators will leverage...
- This $398,374 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project examining factors that drive the regeneration of forests in developing regions that have been deforested. The research combines satellite imagery and ethnographic methods to analyze how rural-to-urban land sales and the priorities of urban landowners contribute to tree cover gain. The project will expand geographic...
- 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 Project Grant award for $600,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund the development of an interactive web-based platform called OpenForest4D. This platform will enable the generation of high-quality, research-grade estimates of forest structure and above-ground biomass across large spatial and temporal scales by applying novel statistical and AI models to a fusion of multi-source remote sensing data. The University of Florida...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $389,950 project grant to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc., doing business as Florida Tech, located in Melbourne, Florida. The grant period runs from June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Are Amazonian and Andean Ecosystems Close to a Tipping Point?" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The goal of this program is to promote advancement in...
- 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 (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $799,458 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) for the 3-year period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund collaborative research to integrate plant traits, phylogenies, and distributional data to forecast the risks and resilience of North American plant communities in response to climate and land use changes. The...
