This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to study the dynamics of the marsh-forest ecotone in the Chesapeake Bay region. The key objectives are to:

  1. Employ remote sensing techniques to track the migration rates of the leading and lagging edges of the marsh-forest ecotone.

  2. Use vegetation monitoring to explore how plant communities respond to varying migration rates.

  3. Conduct mesocosm experiments to identify the drivers inducing vegetation shifts during coastal transgression.

  4. Broaden participation of underrepresented groups in biology, particularly aspiring Indigenous scientists, through educational outreach, graduate mentoring, and networking opportunities.

The research aims to establish a new paradigm for understanding large-scale vegetation shifts by characterizing the ecotone as two discrete boundaries and examining the independent abiotic drivers influencing the leading and lagging edges. The results have major implications for predicting ecotone expanse and species turnover in the face of climate change.
