This Project Grant award for $306,789.00, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a collaborative research project titled "Fire and Water in the West: Trait-Based Demographic Dynamics of Forest Communities." The research aims to quantify the adaptive traits of over 100 tree species in the western United States that enable survival and growth during severe drought and wildfires. The project will compile these trait data into an...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $365,455 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Boise State University to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of wildfire and plant disease disturbances on forest-to-shrubland transitions. The 3-year project, starting on September 1, 2024, will: 1) quantify the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland transitions to repeated fire and disease disturbances; 2) identify biogeochemical and disturbance-related feedbacks...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $1,031,339 to the University of Washington will fund research to study how disturbances and heterogeneity in temperate maritime forests of the U.S. Pacific Northwest affect ecosystem resilience to increasing wildfire activity driven by climate change. The project will integrate remotely sensed data on forest structure and wildfire patterns with new field measurements to test hypotheses on...
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...
This Project Grant award, valued at $446,865 and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports an interdisciplinary research project focused on understanding the impacts of climate change on forests in the Rocky Mountains and Smoky Mountains regions. The project integrates leaf metabolomics data and tree demographic models to develop early-warning markers of tree mortality risk, with the goal of providing accurate forecasts of forest health...
This $372,663 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems will fund research into drought and cold resistance of northeastern US tree species. The grant is part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and enhance understanding of major problems. Specifically, the grant will fund extensive field measurements and a manipulative experiment to...
This Project Grant award of $256,599.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research by Montana State University to investigate the physiological mechanisms underlying forest drought recovery and survival. The key products and services to be delivered include: Conducting greenhouse and field studies to examine the role of tree carbohydrate dynamics in drought recovery, including testing hypotheses on the relationship between pre-drought...
This federal Project Grant award for $335,911, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research to investigate how interactions between wildfires and an emerging plant disease may lead to permanent shifts in coastal forests to shrublands in the western United States. The research team from the University of Georgia Research Foundation will: 1) quantify the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland transitions to...
This $100,000 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences CFDA program, will support research to improve the representation of plants in ecosystem models. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Investigating methods to estimate plant traits using evolutionary histories to improve the parameterization of vegetation hydraulic traits in hydrologic and ecosystem models....
This $670,495 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research into drought and cold resistance in Northeastern U.S. tree species. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of New Hampshire will lead a collaborative effort to investigate how Northeastern tree species respond to drought and how those adaptations impact vulnerability to other climate stressors like extreme cold. The research team will conduct extensive field measurements of drought-related...
