This $372,663 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems will fund research into drought and cold resistance of northeastern US tree species. The grant is part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and enhance understanding of major problems. Specifically, the grant will fund extensive field measurements and a manipulative experiment to...
This $670,495 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research into drought and cold resistance in Northeastern U.S. tree species. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of New Hampshire will lead a collaborative effort to investigate how Northeastern tree species respond to drought and how those adaptations impact vulnerability to other climate stressors like extreme cold. The research team will conduct extensive field measurements of drought-related...
This National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $127,687 to Warren Wilson College to conduct collaborative research on the role of plant-associated microbes in forest ecosystems from November 2022 to May 2025. The research will explore how tree diversity influences leaf and root microbiome communities, leaf chemistry, insect populations, and ultimately tree productivity. Researchers will leverage a 32-acre tree biodiversity experiment in...
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 University of Wisconsin-Madison received a $171,561 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems to conduct research on how trees invest in chemical defenses across a gradient of physiological drought stress. The grant was awarded on April 1, 2021 with a completion date of November 30, 2021. The research funded under this award will provide insights into how trees live within carbon and water budgets, and adapt chemical defenses in...
This Project Grant award of $256,599.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research by Montana State University to investigate the physiological mechanisms underlying forest drought recovery and survival. The key products and services to be delivered include: Conducting greenhouse and field studies to examine the role of tree carbohydrate dynamics in drought recovery, including testing hypotheses on the relationship between pre-drought...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology focused on the evolution of masting as a mechanism for forest resilience under climate change. The 3-year fellowship will fund research to identify genetic variants associated with reproductive traits in two pine species, examine how these variants change over time and terrain in response to temperature gradients, and determine...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $2,010,368 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2026. The grant funds collaborative research on the impacts of severe drought on tropical forest recovery after hurricanes. Researchers are conducting a large-scale rainfall manipulation experiment in a forest in Puerto Rico recovering from Hurricane Maria to characterize forest resilience to climate change. Nine...
This Project Grant award, valued at $446,865 and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports an interdisciplinary research project focused on understanding the impacts of climate change on forests in the Rocky Mountains and Smoky Mountains regions. The project integrates leaf metabolomics data and tree demographic models to develop early-warning markers of tree mortality risk, with the goal of providing accurate forecasts of forest health...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $170,945 to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Division to conduct collaborative research on how pine trees adapt to manage water on their needle surfaces. The research aims to enhance understanding of pine tree physiology and the physics of fluid interaction with flexible biological structures. Key activities include conducting focused laboratory experiments, phylogenetic...
