- This $654,638 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Missouri System on August 15, 2025. The grant supports a collaborative research project to investigate the effects of global change agents on tree reproduction across the North American boreal forest. The research will test how factors like CO2 levels, temperature, water availability, and wildfire impact the quantity and quality of seed production in key...
- This $287,115 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research on continent-wide forest recruitment change and its interactions with climate, habitat, and consumers in North America. The University of California, Merced will conduct the research from September 2022 through August 2026. Key products include quantifying current trends in tree seed production, seedling establishment, and recruitment rates across climate and habitat...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $469,943 to the University of Oregon to investigate the effects of global change agents on tree reproduction across the North American boreal forest. The key objectives are to test how abiotic factors like CO2 levels, temperature, water availability, nitrogen deposition, and wildfire interact to affect seed quantity and quality (seed mass, chemistry, and germination rates) in boreal...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years starting June 1, 2025 to investigate how an alpine plant species in the Rocky Mountains will respond and adapt to climate change. The research aims to understand how population responses to microclimate variation impact range shifts under climate change scenarios. The project will use field and greenhouse experiments, genetic analyses, and...
- This $619,353 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to investigate how stress-adapted microbial communities can enhance the tolerance of tree species to environmental stresses such as cold, heat, and drought. The project aims to increase understanding of the mechanisms by which microbial associations influence how trees grow and function under different...
- 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...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $503,000 to Rider University for research examining the interactive effects of climate warming and drought on tree seedling growth and physiology. The three-year award beginning in August 2022 will support experiments utilizing an ongoing climate change experiment in northern Minnesota, along with new common garden and laboratory experiments at Rider University's campus in New Jersey. The research aims to quantify how soil moisture affects plant sensitivity to warming, with the goal of expanding understanding of how forest species will respond to climate change—specifically regarding tree seedling growth, survival, and underlying physiological traits under varying temperature and precipitation conditions. Results will be published in scholarly journals and presented at conferences. The funding will also support implementation of an undergraduate research course at Rider University to enhance students' research skills and encourage scientists from underrepresented groups.
