- This $310,905 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program aims to assess the potential for the subtropical seagrass Halodule wrightii (shoal grass) to expand its range and replace the temperate Zostera marina (eelgrass) as the dominant habitat-forming seagrass along the U.S. Atlantic coast. The research will examine the eco-evolutionary mechanisms underlying the colonization potential of H. wrightii, which is increasing in...
- This $521,796 National Science Foundation project grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at San Diego State University Foundation from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The research will investigate how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect the growth and survival of eelgrass, a foundational species that provides valuable ecosystem services. Researchers will examine how these stressors interact with local...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $334,904 to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) will support research on how the increasing prevalence of weedy seagrass species affects community interactions and coastal ecosystem functioning. The project will use large-scale field experiments to examine how different seagrass and bivalve species interact and impact coastal carbon cycling. The findings will enhance conservation and...
- This $1.6 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at East Carolina University from September 2022 through August 2027. The university will examine how social, environmental, and governance factors shape the effectiveness of ecosystem-based adaptation approaches to tropical cyclones in mangrove and coral reef coastal communities in Fiji and Puerto Rico. Key products and services include analysis of remote sensing...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is supporting a collaborative research project to develop a new framework for understanding the evolution of specialization in plant-endosymbiont responses to varying environments. The $175,511 project, awarded on October 15, 2025 and running through September 30, 2028, will evaluate the extent of mutualistic partnerships between a saltmarsh grass and its fungal partners along a stress...
- This $199,476 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research led by Texas A&M University to investigate the impacts of climate variability on coastal wetland ecosystems. The project aims to document the successional pathways and recovery of mangroves and salt marsh plants following hard freeze events that can devastate mangrove populations at the northern edges of their geographic range. The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $1,153,700 project grant to the University of California, Davis to investigate how previous disease exposure and temperature influence the response of the marine foundation species Zostera marina (eelgrass) to disease. The study aims to understand the variation in eelgrass susceptibility and resilience to "eelgrass wasting disease," a prevalent pathogen that can devastate entire meadows. The research will...
- The National Science Foundation awarded East Carolina University a $452,448 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research examining tradeoffs between phenology and geography constraints in species' responses to climate change across life cycles. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research...
- This $548,713 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand the impacts of global warming and ocean acidification on Rocky Intertidal ecosystems. The project combines controlled laboratory studies, field experiments, and modeling to investigate how shifting environmental conditions and loss of foundation species affect ecosystem functioning in these communities. The research integrates opportunities for ecological and...
