This $568,586 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology supports a collaborative research project to assess the impacts of dew formation on ecosystem carbon, energy, and water fluxes across a range of ecosystems. The project will provide the first comprehensive, large-scale evaluation of dew's effects on key ecosystem processes, and develop a new land surface model module to incorporate dew dynamics. The research will be conducted across...
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...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $578,234 Project Grant under the Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) program to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). The grant, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2029, supports a multidisciplinary research project investigating the responses of dryland agroecosystems in the Chihuahuan Desert region to the compounding effects of climate variability, human intervention, and critical zone architecture on their...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $297,571 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Michigan State University. The award, which runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028, will fund collaborative research to investigate how the structural and functional diversity of forest canopies influences ecological climate and its impacts on plant and animal habitats. The project will leverage data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $330,717 Project Grant to Wake Forest University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support the research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI: WILL CLIMATE CHANGE LEAD TO SYSTEM SHIFTS ON TROPICAL MOUNTAINS?: THE INTERPLAY OF EPIPHYTE LOSSES ON HOST TREE FUNCTION, MICROCLIMATE, AND HYDROLOGY" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025. The goal of this research...
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 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $1,275,000 to the University of New Mexico to conduct research on the ecology of environmental variability in dryland ecosystems. The research aims to understand how changes in the mean and variance of environmental conditions, particularly water resources, affect the dynamics of dryland ecosystems and transitions between them. Key activities include long-term monitoring, field...
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...
