- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research to investigate the effects of global change agents on tree reproduction in the North American boreal forest. The $559,542 award, effective August 15, 2025 through July 31, 2029, will be performed by the University of Connecticut. The research aims to advance understanding of how abiotic factors like CO2 levels, temperature, water availability, and...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $195,768 to Michigan State University for research titled "Redefining the Ecological Memory of Disturbance Over Multiple Temporal and Spatial Scales in Forest Ecosystems" from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2025. The University of Massachusetts Amherst will serve as a sub-awardee, contributing novel tree-ring methodology development to infer climate and disturbance effects...
- 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 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, 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...
- 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 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...
- 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...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $297,571 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Michigan State University. The award, which runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028, will fund collaborative research to investigate how the structural and functional diversity of forest canopies influences ecological climate and its impacts on plant and animal habitats. The project will leverage data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to...
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 disturbance characteristics, such as timing and severity, on forest structure and productivity. The research aims to provide forest scientists and managers with improved understanding and predictive capabilities to manage the effects of changing disturbance regimes on the sustainability of forest resources. The project will also produce openly available technical resources to assist land managers and commercial foresters, as well as provide training opportunities for graduate, undergraduate, and postdoctoral researchers in sustainable forest management, geospatial analytics, and data science.
