Specifically, the research will: Quantify how predictability, drivers, and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $799,458 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) for the 3-year period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund collaborative research to integrate plant traits, phylogenies, and distributional data to forecast the risks and resilience of North American plant communities in response to climate and land use changes. The...
This $485,187 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation will support the development of new models, algorithms, and visualization tools to improve strategic conservation planning. Funded under the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the award aims to advance quantitative decision-making methods that integrate ecological features like habitat connectivity and species population dynamics. The recipient, University of...
This Project Grant award for $600,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund the development of an interactive web-based platform called OpenForest4D. This platform will enable the generation of high-quality, research-grade estimates of forest structure and above-ground biomass across large spatial and temporal scales by applying novel statistical and AI models to a fusion of multi-source remote sensing data. The University of Florida...
This $175,380 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, funds a collaborative research project to study and synthesize insights on the concept of ecosystem heterogeneity, or "patchiness," across multiple ecological disciplines. The project, led by researchers at Arizona State University, aims to integrate theories and concepts from community ecology, ecosystem ecology, and urban ecology using...
This $900,114 National Science Foundation project grant supports the Biodiversity Forecasting Initiative (BIOFI) led by the University of Arizona from September 2022 through August 2025. The goal of BIOFI is to advance scientists' ability to forecast biodiversity and ecosystem functioning globally under changing environmental conditions. Key products and services include developing an open-source curriculum in biodiversity data science to train the next generation of scientists. The project also...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $297,571 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Michigan State University. The award, which runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028, will fund collaborative research to investigate how the structural and functional diversity of forest canopies influences ecological climate and its impacts on plant and animal habitats. The project will leverage data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to...
This $280,634 federal Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at the University of Florida on how individual variation in species traits can influence ecosystem stability.
