- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $231,060 over 5 years to Lewis & Clark College to research the long-term dynamics of tropical forest regeneration across sites in Ecuador, Puerto Rico, and Panama. The project aims to understand how variations in environmental conditions and climate patterns, including seasonality and multi-year cycles, impact the timing and success of plant...
- 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 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $834,111 to the University of Texas at Austin to advance understanding of the latitudinal biodiversity gradient through chemical ecology research. The grantee will analyze metabolomes of over 2,000 tree and shrub species across 20 forest plots ranging from boreal Canada to the Amazon rainforest. They will combine these data with existing information on tree community diversity,...
- 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 Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $193,752 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund collaborative research from July 2022 through June 2026 to study the impacts of severe drought on tropical forest post-disturbance recovery in Puerto Rico. Specifically, researchers will conduct a rainfall manipulation experiment in a forest recovering from...
- 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 Project Grant award for $600,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund the development of an interactive web-based platform called OpenForest4D. This platform will enable the generation of high-quality, research-grade estimates of forest structure and above-ground biomass across large spatial and temporal scales by applying novel statistical and AI models to a fusion of multi-source remote sensing data. The University of Florida...
