This $228,825 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Duke University to investigate the effects of fire disturbance and climate change on biodiversity in fire-prone ecosystems, particularly longleaf pine savannas. The project will test how fire frequency impacts species diversity, and how these effects may change under future climate conditions. Key activities include developing a predictive model to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $769,637 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Smithsonian Institution, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects, for a 5-year collaborative research project. The project aims to study spatial and temporal patterns of carbon dioxide and methane emissions across tropical wetland ecosystems in the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado). Researchers will collect high-resolution field data on greenhouse gas fluxes,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $402,536 to the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies to conduct collaborative research on spatial and temporal greenhouse gas emissions in Brazilian tropical wetlands. The key objectives are to: Measure the drivers of carbon storage and flux across saturation gradients in tropical grasslands. Determine how wetland extents change seasonally and over decades using remote sensing and...
This $199,552 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on forest citizenship and disaster resilience in the Brazilian Amazon. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado, the three-year project will study how forest-dependent indigenous communities engaged in citizenship to influence institutions and policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers will quantify existing data on mechanisms that reduced vulnerability in the past and collect new qualitative data through...
This $399,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research into traits as predictors of adaptive diversification along the Brazilian Dry Diagonal. The grant funds a collaborative proposal between researchers in the United States and Brazil to synthesize information from species' traits, communities, and genetics to understand the evolution of biodiversity in this unique region of Brazil. The research team will employ machine learning,...
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 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 $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
This $836,720 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research integrating modern and paleoecological perspectives to disentangle grazer and climate controls on fire activity. Over a three-year period from January 2023 through December 2025, the awardee Yale University will combine data from nine present-day herbivore exclusion experiments, observational records from remote sensing and field monitoring, and five paleoecological archives...
This $1,599,825 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Barbara. The award aims to advance scientific theories and models of land use forecasting by integrating diverse, multi-scale data into dynamic prediction models to inform sustainable land use plans and prevent biodiversity and ecosystem service loss. The research will co-design decision support tools with scientists and policymakers in...
