The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,631 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Connecticut (UConn) to conduct research on the behavior and ecological impacts of invasive plant species across the Americas. The 4-year project will investigate how "superinvader" woody plant species can dominate diverse forest environments through experimental studies comparing the growth, survival, and pest interactions of native and...
This Project Grant award, titled "CAREER: The Role of Above-and-Belowground Traits in Plant Invasions: Implications for Community and Ecosystem Dynamics", was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The $1,025,547 award, effective March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2030, will support research at William Marsh Rice University examining the mechanisms driving plant invasions. Specifically, the study will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), is focused on studying the interactions between aquatic plant canopies and water flow. The $213,511 award will fund research to enhance the understanding of how flexible and rigid plant structures in river environments affect water flow and drag forces. The project involves a combination of experiments and numerical simulations to investigate these complex plant-water interactions, with the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral research titled "The Invasive Tradeoffs Hypothesis: How Does Wetland Plant Removal Affect Microbial and Nutrient Linkages." The award falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. The grant will fund research from...
This $433,928 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund collaborative research by Clemson University to study invasive plant species across the Americas. The research teams will monitor the growth and survival of native and invasive tree saplings across light gradients in 10 locations, including temperate and tropical forests, to test the hypothesis that lower pest loads allow invasive species to circumvent the typical tradeoffs...
This Project Grant award of $116,555.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a research project at the University of Arizona to investigate biological invasions across spatial scales. The project aims to compile an open-access database of species invasion data from the National Ecological Observatory Network and analyze it using advanced statistical methods. The goal is to better understand the relative roles of propagule pressure, abiotic...
This $200,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology will fund research into the role of native and nonnative trees in structuring urban food webs. The official federal grant program is the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the grant will support a field experiment involving the planting of 200 native and nonnative oak trees in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant will provide $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the molecular mechanisms governing the remarkable adaptability of aquatic plants. The research aims to elucidate the genetic underpinnings of heterophylly (the ability to produce different leaf forms) and facultative CAM photosynthesis in the model plant Littorella uniflora. The project will employ...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Wyoming to study the evolutionary effects of fish predation on zooplankton in high mountain lake ecosystems. The $307,371 award will be used to quantify differences in the elemental composition and nutrient cycling between zooplankton populations in lakes with and without introduced trout. The project aims to improve understanding of the impacts...
This $281,419 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to generalize drag estimation for rigid and flexible vegetation canopies and quantify their interactions with water flow. The University of Illinois, the primary awardee, will conduct experiments and numerical simulations to investigate how different types of aquatic plant canopies affect water flow and drag forces. The research aims to enhance the ability to...
