This Project Grant award, provided 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 seeding. Awarded to the University of California, Berkeley for $593,639 starting on October 1, 2024, the project seeks to: Address low germination and seedling establishment rates in aerial seeding by developing self-burying seed carriers; Explore rational design of seed carriers...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $295,000 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant supports the development of novel, bio-inspired, biodegradable, self-burying seed carriers for aerial forest regeneration, with the goal of improving germination rates and seedling establishment. Key objectives include: Addressing low germination and seedling establishment in aerial seeding by developing...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $152,521 Project Grant under its Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to Syracuse University. The grant, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2029, will fund the development of novel bio-inspired, biodegradable, self-burying seed carriers for aerial forest seeding. The project aims to address challenges with low germination and seedling establishment rates in aerial seeding by creating self-burying seed carriers...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $472,614 to Cornell University from July 2022 through June 2026 to study the impacts of severe drought on tropical forest post-disturbance recovery. Specifically, the researchers are conducting a rainfall manipulation experiment in a forest in Puerto Rico that is recovering from Hurricane Maria in 2017. The project aims to characterize and predict forest resilience to climate change by...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to Cornell University. The grant, awarded on April 1, 2024, will fund the development of an affordable method for farmers to grow non-crop plants that nurture essential insects, such as butterflies, bees, and ladybugs, required for efficient food production. The key product to be developed is a multi-seed pellet containing a diverse set of plant...
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 $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...
This $184,760 federal Project Grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service on March 18, 2024 under the Forest Health Protection program (CFDA 10.680), supports Cornell University's project to increase infrastructure for early detection of native and invasive forest pathogens. The project aims to develop new DNA-based monitoring technologies to enhance the ability to identify and track the spread of damaging forest pests and diseases across the United States. The...
This $413,467 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program will fund the development of "OpenForest4D", a web-based cyberinfrastructure platform for next-generation 4D forest mapping and monitoring. The project aims to enable users to generate up-to-date, research-grade forest structure and biomass estimates across multiple timescales by applying advanced statistical models and AI methodologies...
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...
