This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $487,639 to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct long-term monitoring and research on plant community dynamics in the Colorado alpine biome. The project aims to assemble a unique long-term dataset on population and community changes in response to rapid environmental changes, such as climate change, to advance ecological theory and forecasting. Key activities...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years starting June 1, 2025 to investigate how an alpine plant species in the Rocky Mountains will respond and adapt to climate change. The research aims to understand how population responses to microclimate variation impact range shifts under climate change scenarios. The project will use field and greenhouse experiments, genetic analyses, and...
This $158,371 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund collaborative research on the integrated dynamics between plants and aphids mediated by above- and below-ground mutualisms in a rapidly warming Rocky Mountain ecosystem. The research aims to: Integrate the direct effects of temperature on aphid development with indirect effects driven by shifts in above- and below-ground ecological interactions. Assess...
This $159,804 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research study to synthesize long-term, multi-site data on the demographic responses of two tundra plant species to environmental variation across western North America. The goal is to understand how climate-driven changes in survival, growth, and reproduction of these plant populations could impact their geographical ranges. The research team at the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 for $214,838, will support collaborative research to study how local adaptation and climatic extremes shape continental-scale changes in distribution and abundance under climate change. The project will use transplant experiments and long-term monitoring of two widespread tundra plant species across 29 populations in western North America. The research aims to develop...
This $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program project grant, with a total award of $193,780, supports collaborative research to understand how fluctuations in pollinator abundance affect the population dynamics of plant species. The awardee, The Corporation of the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory At Gothic, will conduct a long-term field experiment manipulating pollination environments for two perennial plant species. The research aims to leverage 9-11 years of...
This $793,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund research at the University of Colorado to quantify how global environmental changes, such as drought and warming, impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The project aims to transform understanding of the causal mechanisms by which biodiversity responds to global change drivers and how those biodiversity changes then feed back to alter productivity and other ecosystem...
This $127,694 National Science Foundation project grant will support the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory's 2023 Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site program. Titled "Pathways to Inclusive Science: Emerging Field Techniques," the program will provide 10 undergraduate students from across the U.S. with 10 weeks of training in field research methods and responsible conduct of research. Particular focus will be given to recruiting minority and community college students....
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $639,059 Project Grant to the Chicago Botanic Garden under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026. The grant will support research linking climate change-induced shifts in plant phenology, or the timing of life cycle events, to plant population dynamics. Specifically, the grantee will conduct an experimental demography project advancing the phenology of...
