This $651,159 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining particulate matter transport through forest canopies. The University of Utah will monitor storm conditions, throughfall, stemflow, and particulate composition across 11 forest sites in the National Ecological Observatory Network, representing major North American forest types. The project aims to estimate particulate mass fluxes, characterize particulate...
Cleveland State University was awarded a $4.1 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to study particulates in forest canopy flowpaths from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2027. The project aims to estimate water and particulate mass fluxes through throughfall and stemflow across various North American forest types, characterize particulate composition including carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and microplastics, and identify drivers of...
The University of North Texas was awarded a $396,610 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering under the Office of International Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.079). The grant will fund the IRES TRACK II - CAPE HORN ASIS: CLIMATE CHANGE AND DISEASE ECOLOGY AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE AMERICAS project from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The project aims to enable U.S. leadership in global science by...
This $329,272 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the impacts of sea level rise on stemflow dynamics and associated hydrological and biogeochemical processes in coastal forests along the Atlantic seaboard. The University of Delaware, as the prime awardee, will use field measurements, laboratory analyses, and statistical modeling to understand how changes in stemflow (precipitation channeled down tree...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $502,817 Project Grant to Smith College under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026. The grant will support research to understand tree phloem functioning during drought conditions. Specifically, the grantee will quantify differences in phloem function for mature forest trees under control and drought scenarios. Experiments will investigate when the phloem loses function...
This $1,121,416 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a collaborative research project at Colorado State University (CSU) to investigate how forest structure and function influence ecological climate, which is the climate experienced by organisms within forest canopies. The project will leverage data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to evaluate how forest diversity modulates ecological climate...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,976,918 Project Grant to the University of Alabama under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to provide training for the next generation of ecologists and natural resource managers.
