This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $344,805 to Scripps College for a 3-year research project titled "MCA PILOT PUI: EVALUATING CLIMATE DRIVERS OF PLANT DEMOGRAPHY". The project will analyze long-term data on six plant species in the California Channel Islands and one mainland species to compare statistical methods for modeling the effects of weather variation on plant survival, reproduction, and population growth. The goal is to provide new insights into the climate drivers most important for ongoing and future changes in coastal California plant communities. The project will also train a mid-career scientist and undergraduate students in data analysis techniques. As part of the award, Scripps College plans to issue sub-awards to support the research activities.
