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 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 $692,182.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research to investigate the adaptive traits of tree species in the western United States and how they respond to severe drought and wildfires. The key objectives are to 1) quantify the adaptive traits of over 100 tree species, such as bark thickness, resprouting ability, and root depth, and publish the data in an open-access database, and 2) use...
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 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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $293,033 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to examine how plant diversity impacts the resilience of forests to climate change. The award is made through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The project will analyze field data, forest inventories,...
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 $252,739 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support collaborative research to understand how pine trees adapt to manage water on their needles. The research aims to decipher the interplay between needle shape, surface properties, and elasticity that enable pine trees to passively shed water, which is crucial for photosynthesis and tree health. The project will combine experiments, ecological data analysis, and...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to improve understanding of how forest structure and function influence "ecological climate" - the climate experienced by organisms within forest canopies. The $424,492 project, running from August 2024 to July 2028, will integrate data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) into advanced forest canopy models to evaluate how forest diversity...
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...
