The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $307,382 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Boise State University. The three-year grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research to measure how climate change may disrupt the species interactions that shape local adaptation in big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) populations. The project will integrate field and lab-based reciprocal transplant experiments, soil microbiome...
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 $793,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund research at the University of Colorado to quantify how global environmental changes, such as drought and warming, impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The project aims to transform understanding of the causal mechanisms by which biodiversity responds to global change drivers and how those biodiversity changes then feed back to alter productivity and other ecosystem...
This $159,804 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research study to synthesize long-term, multi-site data on the demographic responses of two tundra plant species to environmental variation across western North America. The goal is to understand how climate-driven changes in survival, growth, and reproduction of these plant populations could impact their geographical ranges. The research team at the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 for $214,838, will support collaborative research to study how local adaptation and climatic extremes shape continental-scale changes in distribution and abundance under climate change. The project will use transplant experiments and long-term monitoring of two widespread tundra plant species across 29 populations in western North America. The research aims to develop...
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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $711,741 awarded on October 1, 2022 will fund research and education activities advancing understanding of climate-phenology coupling through 2026. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of Michigan will develop a macrosystems framework to quantify interactions between climate and phenology across scales. Researchers will analyze phenology data globally and from the National Ecological Observatory Network to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is providing $199,794 to the University of Denver to conduct collaborative research focused on understanding the impacts of climate change on forests in the Rocky Mountains and Smoky Mountains. The key objectives are to integrate leaf metabolomics data and tree demographic models to develop early-warning markers of tree mortality risk under changing environmental conditions. The research...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to study the dynamics of the marsh-forest ecotone in the Chesapeake Bay region. The key objectives are to: Employ remote sensing techniques to track the migration rates of the leading and lagging edges of the marsh-forest ecotone. Use vegetation monitoring to explore how plant communities respond to varying migration...

This three-year, $499,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University to reduce uncertainties about ecosystem acclimation to climate change. The university researchers will develop a theoretical framework to study lags in ecosystem adaptation across temporal and organizational scales. They will synthesize knowledge from paleoecology, long-term studies, experiments and models on processes like trait plasticity and soil changes. Analysis of existing long-term datasets will demonstrate where and why climate-ecosystem mismatches are already affecting functions. Results will improve forecasts of ecosystem responses by better understanding the poorly known phenomenon of acclimation. A postdoctoral researcher will receive direct training. Findings complement climate adaptation planning and provide land managers options for rapidly changing conditions.
