This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $827,017 to Yale University to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of early land plants on the Earth system. The research team will generate new high-resolution field-based geochemical and paleontological data from the Canadian Arctic to reconstruct ecological and environmental changes concurrent with the radiation of early land plants during the Silurian-Devonian transition....
This Project Grant award of $285,980 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to study the impact of the evolution of land plants on the Earth system. The research team, led by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside, will generate new field-based geochemical and paleontological data from the Canadian Arctic to reconstruct ecological and environmental changes concurrent with the radiation of early...
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 $599,996 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Baylor University on April 1, 2024. The project, titled "Cells to Ecosystems: Fossil Xylem is the Missing Link in Reconstructing Water Use by Plants, Forests, and Global Vegetation in Deep Time", aims to establish a database of plant stem traits from fossil xylem to understand how plant communities responded to major ancient climate change events. Key objectives include...
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....
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research titled "UNRAVELING FLUVIAL KINEMATICS BEFORE THE RISE OF LAND PLANTS: BRIDGING LABORATORY AND GEOLOGIC SCALES." The two-year award beginning August 1, 2021 will fund basic research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $799,458 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) for the 3-year period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund collaborative research to integrate plant traits, phylogenies, and distributional data to forecast the risks and resilience of North American plant communities in response to climate and land use changes. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $912,952 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on the diversity, distribution, and resilience of North American plants. The primary objectives are to: 1) Assemble detailed historical and current data on trait diversity and endemism of North American plants to understand the long-term eco-evolutionary drivers of...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), focuses on understanding the carbon cycling and methane dynamics of tropical peatlands across the Pan-American region. The $826,235 award, effective from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2029, will enable researchers at Stanford University to conduct systematic field measurements and data analysis to gain insights into the hydrological thresholds, peat...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $455,612 to Purdue University to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of guard cell turgor and the rise of angiosperms. The research aims to develop a new method to directly measure guard cell turgor pressures across different plant lineages, in order to better understand the regulation of stomatal opening and closing in response to environmental stresses...
