- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $697,607 to East Carolina University (ECU) to conduct collaborative research on understanding the eco-evolutionary mechanisms underlying the colonization potential of the tropical seagrass species Halodule wrightii. The research aims to assess where and how H. wrightii could expand northward along the U.S. Atlantic coast, potentially replacing the temperate...
- 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...
- 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...
- This $442,219 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at North Carolina State University to test incorporating secondary foundation species into coastal habitat restoration efforts. The research aims to increase ecosystem regrowth, biodiversity recovery, and climate resistance through harnessing beneficial species interactions. Specifically, the project will test how...
- 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...
- This $300,753 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences will fund research into plant-fungal associations between seagrasses and marine fungi under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Over a two-year period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024, the Regents of the University of California at Riverside will analyze publicly available data and conduct culture-dependent and -independent methods to characterize the phenotypic and functional diversity...
- This $964,636 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on viral infection dynamics among seagrasses. The University of South Florida is investigating interactions between the seagrass Thalassia testudinum and Turtlegrass Virus X through field studies in Tampa Bay and controlled microcosm experiments. Fieldwork will monitor viral load bimonthly over two years to understand how it relates to seagrass genotype,...
