This $154,453 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) aims to develop novel bio-inspired, biodegradable, self-burying seed carriers for aerial forest regeneration. The key products and services to be delivered through this 5-year award, which began on October 1, 2024, include: Addressing the challenge of low germination and seedling establishment rates in aerial seeding by developing self-burying seed carriers that provide...
This $295,000 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), supports a collaborative research effort to develop bio-inspired, biodegradable, self-burying seed carriers for aerial forest regeneration. The key objectives are to: Address low germination and seedling establishment rates in aerial seeding by developing self-burying seed carriers. Explore the rational design of seed carriers to accommodate the unique...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $152,521 to Syracuse University to develop novel bio-inspired, biodegradable, self-burying seed carriers for aerial forest seeding. The goal is to enhance forest regeneration by improving germination rates and seedling establishment, especially in harsh environments. The key products and services to be delivered include: Addressing the challenge of low germination and...
This $398,374 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project examining factors that drive the regeneration of forests in developing regions that have been deforested. The research combines satellite imagery and ethnographic methods to analyze how rural-to-urban land sales and the priorities of urban landowners contribute to tree cover gain. The project will expand geographic...
This $189,979 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research into continent-wide forest recruitment change and its interactions with climate, habitat, and consumers in North America. The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, will conduct the research from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2026. The research will quantify current trends and changes in forest regeneration...
This $287,115 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research on continent-wide forest recruitment change and its interactions with climate, habitat, and consumers in North America. The University of California, Merced will conduct the research from September 2022 through August 2026. Key products include quantifying current trends in tree seed production, seedling establishment, and recruitment rates across climate and habitat...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $148,000 Project Grant to support a postdoctoral fellowship under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The fellowship will fund an early career scientist at the University of California, Berkeley from October 2022 through September 2024 to investigate the spatial distribution and drivers of forest restoration reversals and successes. Specifically, the fellow will conduct biome- and property-scale geospatial analyses to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology focused on the evolution of masting as a mechanism for forest resilience under climate change. The 3-year fellowship will fund research to identify genetic variants associated with reproductive traits in two pine species, examine how these variants change over time and terrain in response to temperature gradients, and determine...
This $803,522 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research led by the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to explore the effects of precipitation extremes and nitrogen deposition on root productivity in grassland ecosystems. The key objectives of this 5-year project are to investigate the mechanisms by which root growth and symbiotic associations with fungi, as well as root herbivory by nematodes, mediate...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.084 - NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships) provides $274,990 to Trees ROI LLC to develop a 3-dimensional, non-destructive ground penetrating radar (GPR) computed tomography (CT) system with software analytics to assess the quality of container-grown root systems in nursery stock trees. The goal is to modernize industry inspection methods to improve the quality, value, and lifespan of nursery trees, promoting...
