- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is supporting a collaborative research project to develop a new framework for understanding the evolution of specialization in plant-endosymbiont responses to varying environments. The $175,511 project, awarded on October 15, 2025 and running through September 30, 2028, will evaluate the extent of mutualistic partnerships between a saltmarsh grass and its fungal partners along a stress...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $2,275,000 Project Grant to New Mexico State University to study the shift from grasslands to shrublands in drylands of the Southwestern U.S. The research aims to advance understanding of this ecological change, including how weather, land management, and biotic interactions influence the transition, and how it impacts carbon and nutrient cycling, soil erosion, and human wellbeing. The project will also...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $171,094 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to St. Mary's College of Maryland. The funding supports a 3-year collaborative research project to evaluate the partnership between a saltmarsh grass and its fungal symbionts along an environmental stress gradient. The project aims to assess how these plant-endosymbiont associations change under salinity stress, with the goal of developing a publicly...
- This $199,476 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research led by Texas A&M University to investigate the impacts of climate variability on coastal wetland ecosystems. The project aims to document the successional pathways and recovery of mangroves and salt marsh plants following hard freeze events that can devastate mangrove populations at the northern edges of their geographic range. The...
- This $234,897 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project led by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi to investigate the evolution of specialization in plant-endosymbiont (plant-fungal) relationships in response to environmental stressors like salinity in coastal marshes. The 3-year project will evaluate the nature of these plant-fungal partnerships along environmental gradients, assessing...
- 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 $521,796 National Science Foundation project grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at San Diego State University Foundation from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The research will investigate how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect the growth and survival of eelgrass, a foundational species that provides valuable ecosystem services. Researchers will examine how these stressors interact with local...
- This federal Project Grant award for $335,911, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research to investigate how interactions between wildfires and an emerging plant disease may lead to permanent shifts in coastal forests to shrublands in the western United States. The research team from the University of Georgia Research Foundation will: 1) quantify the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland transitions to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $400,523 Project Grant to the University of Houston System to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of climate variability and extreme weather events on coastal ecosystems. The research aims to understand how mangrove forests and salt marsh plant communities respond and recover after severe freeze events, which can dramatically alter these coastal habitats. The project will document...
