This $836,720 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research integrating modern and paleoecological perspectives to disentangle grazer and climate controls on fire activity. Over a three-year period from January 2023 through December 2025, the awardee Yale University will combine data from nine present-day herbivore exclusion experiments, observational records from remote sensing and field monitoring, and five paleoecological...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program provides $2,453,417 to Yale University to study how forest fragmentation and climate change impacts the Amazon rainforest ecosystem. The key products and services to be delivered include:
Field-based measurements of forest dynamics, animal exclusion experiments, and remote sensing mapping to examine how changes in tree species and animal populations affect the resilience of Amazon forest edges to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $769,637 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Smithsonian Institution, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects, for a 5-year collaborative research project. The project aims to study spatial and temporal patterns of carbon dioxide and methane emissions across tropical wetland ecosystems in the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado). Researchers will collect high-resolution field data on greenhouse gas fluxes,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded through the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will test how fire frequency affects biodiversity in fire-prone ecosystems, such as longleaf pine savannas, and how climate change may modify these effects. The 3-year, $293,009 project, awarded to Kansas State University, will:
Construct a climate- and fire-driven model to predict the impact of fire frequency and climate change on the abundance of the Venus flytrap,...
This $199,552 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on forest citizenship and disaster resilience in the Brazilian Amazon. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado, the three-year project will study how forest-dependent indigenous communities engaged in citizenship to influence institutions and policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers will quantify existing data on mechanisms that reduced vulnerability in the past and collect new qualitative data...
This four-year, $212,466 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research exploring boreal forest fire feedbacks through multiple timescales. Colorado State University will investigate paleohistory of short-interval fires using lake sediment cores, conduct fieldwork on fire resilience, and use high-performance modeling to estimate future fire behavior. The research aims to determine if current short-interval fires are creating...
This $1,599,825 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Barbara. The award aims to advance scientific theories and models of land use forecasting by integrating diverse, multi-scale data into dynamic prediction models to inform sustainable land use plans and prevent biodiversity and ecosystem service loss. The research will co-design decision support tools with scientists and policymakers in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $195,763 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Oregon State University (OSU) to investigate the ecosystem-level impacts of the 2023 Lookout Fire along Lookout Creek in Oregon. The research aims to understand changes in stream ecosystem structure and function, focusing on microbial decomposition, aquatic vertebrates, and riparian wildlife. Key activities include assessing microbial decomposition rates, conducting...
