This Project Grant award for $692,182.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research to investigate the adaptive traits of tree species in the western United States and how they respond to severe drought and wildfires. The key objectives are to 1) quantify the adaptive traits of over 100 tree species, such as bark thickness, resprouting ability, and root depth, and publish the data in an open-access database, and 2) use...
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....
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 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 novel...
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 of $400,000 from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will support research by Marshall University Research Corporation to investigate the combined effects of fire, invasive species, and environmental change on biodiversity in sagebrush rangelands of the western United States. The project aims to quantify the conditions under which these interacting environmental drivers are likely to lead to ecosystem state transitions and...
This Project Grant award of $146,766 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research by Boise State University to understand vulnerability to wildland fire. The project will: Analyze patterns of wildland fire impacts on a national scale to elucidate how these impacts are distributed among populations. Evaluate the perceptions and experiences of affected communities regarding wildland fire impacts and adaptation...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, provides $273,043 in funding to North Carolina State University to conduct collaborative research on the interactions between wildfire and disease disturbances and their impact on coastal forest ecosystems. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year project include: 1) quantifying the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland transitions to repeated fire and...
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...
