This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $1,275,000 to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to study the shift from grasslands to shrublands in the Jornada Basin of the Southwestern United States. The research aims to advance understanding of how weather, land management, erosion, and ecological interactions influence this shift, with the goal of informing regional and global scale models and solutions. Along with the...
This $1,121,416 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a collaborative research project at Colorado State University (CSU) to investigate how forest structure and function influence ecological climate, which is the climate experienced by organisms within forest canopies. The project will leverage data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to evaluate how forest diversity modulates ecological climate...
This $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
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 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to improve understanding of how forest structure and function influence "ecological climate" - the climate experienced by organisms within forest canopies. The $424,492 project, running from August 2024 to July 2028, will integrate data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) into advanced forest canopy models to evaluate how forest diversity...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $270,000 supports a postdoctoral fellowship focused on exploring the interactions between plants, animals, and people in a complex forest ecosystem in Madagascar. The research will use genetic and statistical tools to study relationships between species, with the goal of understanding how habitat changes impact the health and stability of the ecosystem. The fellowship will provide the researcher...
This $371,175 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The goal of this collaborative research project is to develop a functional model for predicting soil organic matter composition and cycling at the continental scale. Researchers from the University of Georgia Research Foundation will leverage existing data and new samples from the National Ecological Observatory...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $270,000 funds a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship focused on quantifying how rainfall and herbivory shape the carbon allocation strategies of dominant savanna tree species in Africa. The fellow will use a combination of experimental, modeling, and remote sensing approaches to: 1) characterize species-specific carbon allocation patterns, 2) assess how these allocation strategies influence tree...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $345,312 to the University of Arizona, was granted on June 15, 2024 to support a research project that will investigate the diversity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria and other microbes associating with plant roots across the North American continent. The project will leverage NSF-sponsored ecological monitoring resources through the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to sample the...
This $651,159 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining particulate matter transport through forest canopies. The University of Utah will monitor storm conditions, throughfall, stemflow, and particulate composition across 11 forest sites in the National Ecological Observatory Network, representing major North American forest types. The project aims to estimate particulate mass fluxes, characterize particulate...
