The National Science Foundation awarded a $148,000 Project Grant to support a postdoctoral fellowship under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The fellowship will fund an early career scientist at the University of California, Berkeley from October 2022 through September 2024 to investigate the spatial distribution and drivers of forest restoration reversals and successes. Specifically, the fellow will conduct biome- and property-scale geospatial analyses to...
This $126,270 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop new capabilities to monitor and understand forest carbon dynamics in the Earth system. The key products and services to be delivered include: Cross-platform and cross-region learning frameworks to enable fine-scale carbon dynamics monitoring at large geographic scales. High-fidelity fast approximations of theory-based carbon forecasting models using new meta-learning...
This Project Grant award, valued at $1,018,281 and provided by the National Science Foundation's Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, supports the development of OpenForest4D - a web-based cyberinfrastructure platform for next-generation 4D forest mapping and monitoring. The goal is to apply novel statistical models and artificial intelligence methodologies to a fusion of multi-source remote sensing data to generate on-demand, research-grade estimates of forest structure and above-ground...
This $1,599,793 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on the influence of community forestry on integrated socio-environmental systems. Funded under the Geosciences program, which aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research, the grant will examine how community forestry impacts the dynamics of coupled natural and human systems. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will conduct analyses to link an agent-based model with an...
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...
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 $185,395 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on continent-wide changes in forest recruitment across North America. The grantee, Regents of the University of Michigan, will conduct extensive gradient sampling of tree fecundity, seedling success, and vertebrate activity distributed across climate and habitat zones. Predictive vertebrate modeling using data from camera traps, live trapping, and bird...
This $295,000 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), supports a collaborative research effort to develop bio-inspired, biodegradable, self-burying seed carriers for aerial forest regeneration. The key objectives are to: Address low germination and seedling establishment rates in aerial seeding by developing self-burying seed carriers. Explore the rational design of seed carriers to accommodate the unique...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $859,653 to the University of Texas at Austin from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2028. The funding supports research to develop and test models of tropical and temperate forest structure and dynamics through analysis of data from the Smithsonian's Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO) network. Investigators will leverage...
This four-year, $799,960 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences and Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will assess the effects of human activity on the composition of tropical forests. The Florida Institute of Technology will examine how human impacts such as planting, cutting, burning of plants have potentially shaped rainforest ecosystems over extended periods. Alternative hypotheses around more recent intensive...
