This $256,599 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research to investigate the role of tree carbohydrate dynamics in drought recovery mechanisms. The project aims to develop the ability to remotely measure tree carbohydrates using hyperspectral imaging and predict drought recovery and survival before drought onset. Key research activities include greenhouse and field studies to examine how maintaining higher pre-drought...
This $654,781 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund collaborative research on continent-wide forest recruitment change and its interactions with climate, habitat, and consumers. Duke University will lead efforts to quantify current trends in tree seed production, seedling establishment, and recruitment rates across North America. Researchers will link these forest recruitment stages to climate and habitat variables and the...
This $223,991 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. Over a four-year period ending in February 2027, the University of Arizona will investigate how seed chemistry, environmental conditions, and genetic factors determine outcomes of seed-fungal relationships in tropical forests. Researchers will use metabolomics and assays to study seed...
This $535,370 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at Syracuse University to study the effects of warming temperatures and biotic interactions on aphid population dynamics. The research aims to improve understanding of factors affecting insect herbivore abundance under current and future climate scenarios. Key aspects of the project include: Conducting field experiments in a Rocky Mountain...
