The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,631 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Connecticut (UConn) to conduct research on the behavior and ecological impacts of invasive plant species across the Americas. The 4-year project will investigate how "superinvader" woody plant species can dominate diverse forest environments through experimental studies comparing the growth, survival, and pest interactions of native and...
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 $433,928 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund collaborative research by Clemson University to study invasive plant species across the Americas. The research teams will monitor the growth and survival of native and invasive tree saplings across light gradients in 10 locations, including temperate and tropical forests, to test the hypothesis that lower pest loads allow invasive species to circumvent the typical tradeoffs...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's $370,704 Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research into unraveling the origin of vegetative desiccation tolerance in vascular plants. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University will collaborate on identifying the genetic and metabolic networks controlling vegetative desiccation tolerance and inferring its evolutionary origin. Specifically, the researchers will determine global transcriptional and metabolic...
This $406,962 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research to understand the forces shaping lichen species distributions in the Appalachian Mountain biodiversity hotspot. The key products and services to be delivered include: Integrating digitization, exploration, genomics, and student training to illuminate factors influencing lichen distributions in the Appalachian region Creating new large-scale,...
This $400,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the effects of unsteady wind and surface morphology on plant transpiration. Funded under the Biological Sciences program of the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, the three-year award running from September 2021 to August 2024 will examine how external abiotic conditions affect internal fluid flows within plants. Cornell University is the primary awardee and will collaborate with President and Fellows of...
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 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 $468,143 National Science Foundation project grant supports a collaborative research effort to build a robust phylogenetic framework of the hyper-diverse flowering plant subfamily Lamioideae (Lamiaceae). Led by The Research Foundation for The State University of New York, the three-year award beginning June 1, 2022 will utilize next-generation DNA sequencing approaches involving targeted enrichment, transcriptomics, and broad taxonomic sampling. The research team will circumscribe major...
This $100,000 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences CFDA program, will support research to improve the representation of plants in ecosystem models.
