This $654,781 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund collaborative research on continent-wide forest recruitment change and its interactions with climate, habitat, and consumers. Duke University will lead efforts to quantify current trends in tree seed production, seedling establishment, and recruitment rates across North America. Researchers will link these forest recruitment stages to climate and habitat variables and the...
This $1,674,172 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to enhance the efficacy and equity of forest-based climate solutions (FBCS) in the Eastern United States. The key objectives are to:
Quantify how common forest management practices impact carbon storage, climate resilience, and co-benefits like water/nutrient retention and biodiversity through a network of long-term forest management...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award in the amount of $399,975 to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) funds research to identify "bright spots" of improving ecological conditions and human resilience, as well as "hot spots" of land degradation and human vulnerability. The project integrates household surveys, community-level interviews, and drone-derived imagery to understand...
This $149,694 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports an interdisciplinary research project led by the University of Washington. The project aims to investigate the long-term interactions between humans and the environment in a biodiverse national park location, using archaeological, zooarchaeological, and geomorphological evidence. The research team is partnering with local community members to...
This $398,374 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program examines factors leading to forest regeneration in developing regions that have been deforested. The research project uses satellite imagery and ethnographic methods to analyze how rural-to-urban land sales and the subsequent cultivation of tree crops by urban landowners contribute to forest regrowth. The project aims to expand geographic theory on...
This $442,219 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at North Carolina State University to test incorporating secondary foundation species into coastal habitat restoration efforts. The research aims to increase ecosystem regrowth, biodiversity recovery, and climate resistance through harnessing beneficial species interactions. Specifically, the project will test how...
This $102,864 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project titled "ADVANCING THEORY AND CONCEPT OF ECOSYSTEM HETEROGENEITY: A FIVE-DECADE SYNTHESIS." The project, led by the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, aims to integrate ecological theories and concepts into a broad synthesis exploring how the fundamental idea of "patchiness" or spatial heterogeneity has...
This $499,999 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will assess the knowledge needed to effectively implement conservation practices. The project aims to reveal whether the scientific knowledge produced for species conservation aligns with the knowledge actually used to successfully recover and delist endangered species. The research will analyze recovery plans, delisting determinations, and conduct...
This $273,043 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to North Carolina State University. The grant supports a collaborative research project examining how interactions between wildfires and an emerging plant disease may shift coastal forests to shrublands in the western United States. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland transitions to repeated fire and disease disturbances; 2)...
