This $531,962 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to examine the impact of the evolution of land plants on the Earth system. The research team at Stanford University will generate new, high-resolution field-based geochemical, sedimentological, and paleontological data from the Canadian Arctic to reconstruct ecological and environmental changes that coincided with the radiation of early land plants. These...
This Project Grant award of $285,980 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to examine the effects of early land plant evolution on the Earth system. The key products of this research include: Generating new high-resolution field-based geochemical and paleontological data from the Canadian Arctic to reconstruct ecological and environmental changes concurrent with the...
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 $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 $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 (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 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....
This $988,130 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program focuses on advancing understanding of the evolutionary history and ecological adaptations of the Montiaceae plant family. Led by researchers at Yale University, the project will construct a comprehensive phylogeny (evolutionary tree) for the Montiaceae, which contains ~250 species of annual and perennial herbs found across diverse environments like deserts, mountains, and Mediterranean regions....
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $396,677 to the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois to investigate the early history of tropical forests and the rise of flowering plants during the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 100-145 million years ago. The researchers will examine well-preserved fossil plants from Colombia and Ecuador to reconstruct past vegetation composition and...
