This $429,172 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to provide a comprehensive, macroscale assessment of dew impacts on carbon, energy, and water fluxes across various ecosystems. The project will generate a new land surface model module to account for dew effects, enabling further research on dew's impacts on weather forecasting and microbiology. The grant will support the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $347,157 Project Grant titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MRA: DEW IMPACTS ON ECOSYSTEM CARBON, ENERGY AND WATER FLUXES AT CONTINENTAL SCALE - A SYNTHESIS ACROSS NEON SITES" to the University of Illinois. This grant, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2027, will provide the first comprehensive, macroscale assessment of the impacts of dew formation on carbon, energy, and water fluxes across a...
This $398,984 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to quantify the biophysical, physiological, and phenological impacts of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on vegetation and their effects on future climate change. The research utilizes the Community Earth System Model to examine the direct impacts of CO2 fertilization and stomatal closure, as well as the indirect effects of a longer growing season, on...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), is aimed at understanding how forests respond to drought and high temperatures. The $290,728 award will fund research to unveil the role of hillslope hydrology in mediating ecosystem response to drought in forest ecosystems. The key products and services to be delivered include: Using a variety of tools, such as direct forest measurements and satellite observations, to...
This $270,754 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program supports collaborative research to investigate the impacts of the ongoing megadrought in the American West on soil moisture, ecosystem carbon-water cycling, and remote sensing capabilities. The research team, led by the Trustees of Indiana University, will synthesize hundreds of long-term soil moisture measurements with remotely-sensed data and eddy covariance tower observations to...
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 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 $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. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Investigating methods to estimate plant traits using evolutionary histories to improve the parameterization of vegetation hydraulic traits in hydrologic and ecosystem models....
This Project Grant award of $1,275,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will support fundamental research on dryland ecosystems in the Jornada Basin of the southwestern United States. The primary research goals are to study the shift from grasslands to shrub-dominated landscapes, including examining the effects on carbon and nutrient cycling, wind and water erosion, and plant-animal interactions. The award will fund field...
This $307,095 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program supports a 2-year research project at the University of Puerto Rico - Rio Piedras Campus. The project aims to investigate the ecophysiological responses of two key tree species in Caribbean tidal freshwater wetlands to the impacts of climate change, including warmer temperatures and increased salinity. Using field observations and greenhouse...
