- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $469,943 collaborative research project grant to the University of Oregon to investigate the effects of global change agents on tree reproduction across the North American boreal forest. The 4-year project, with an award date of August 15, 2025 and ultimate completion date of July 31, 2029, will study how factors like CO2 levels, temperature, water availability, nitrogen deposition, and...
- This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $654,638.00 and an award date of August 15, 2025, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The objective of the project is to investigate how abiotic factors, such as CO2 levels, temperature, water availability, nitrogen deposition, and wildfire, interact to affect seed quantity and quality (seed mass, seed chemistry, seed germination rates) in boreal tree species. The...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research to investigate how prior disturbances affect the resistance of forest ecosystems to subsequent ice storm events. The $153,106 award to the University of Connecticut, with a period of performance from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026, will leverage existing field experiments and a recent ice storm in northern Michigan to evaluate the impacts of prior...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology focused on the evolution of masting as a mechanism for forest resilience under climate change. The 3-year fellowship will fund research to identify genetic variants associated with reproductive traits in two pine species, examine how these variants change over time and terrain in response to temperature gradients, and determine...
- 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 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $249,111 to the University of Wyoming to investigate how extreme weather events and changes in forest species richness may interactively impact forest productivity. The Principal Investigator will study tree-ring structures, forest diseases, and forecasting models to assess these relationships across scales from individual tree cells to the North American continent....
- This $287,115 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research on continent-wide forest recruitment change and its interactions with climate, habitat, and consumers in North America. The University of California, Merced will conduct the research from September 2022 through August 2026. Key products include quantifying current trends in tree seed production, seedling establishment, and recruitment rates across climate and habitat...
- This $692,182 Project Grant was awarded on July 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Wyoming (UW) to conduct research on the impact of drought and fire on western U.S. forests. The key objectives are to 1) quantify the adaptive traits of tree species in the west and publish the results in an open-access database, and 2) quantify the effects of these traits on tree demographic rates in response to changing drought and...
- 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 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...
