项目摘要
Grasses cover a large portion of the Earth and provide many staple foods for humanity. However, there is considerable disagreement on how grasslands will respond to environmental change, and the potentially dramatic changes to crop productivity, species invasions, and biodiversity remain unknown. Without a firm understanding of the climatic conditions that caused the spreading of warm-season grasses in the deep past, it is difficult to predict how they will respond in the future. The significant enlargement of grasses' geographic range millions of years ago during the Miocene is the focus of this study. This project is the first to collect data on precipitation and vegetation during the Miocene in South America and to use it to make simulations of ancient climate during this important ecological change. Results are leading to new understanding about how the abundance of warm-season grasses may change in natural and managed landscapes in response to future environmental changes.The Late Miocene expansion of C4 grasses is one of the most dramatic ecological changes in the past 65 million years. In order to predict how these economically important grasses will respond to future enviornmental change, the factors controlling their past distributions must be understood. In South America, C4 grass expansion was coincident with a strengthening of the South American Summer Monsoon and regional tectonic changes. This project is combining multi-proxy paleovegetation reconstructions with proxy-based paleoclimatic reconstructions and paleoclimatic modeling techniques to understand the linkages between tectonics, climate, and environmental change in South America. Results are leading to new understanding of the conditions under which C4 grasses expanded. A societal benefit of this research includes the ability to make better predictions for how the abundance of C4 grasses may vary in natural and managed landscapes in response to future environmental changes.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
草覆盖了地球的很大一部分,为人类提供了许多主食。然而,关于草地将如何应对环境变化存在相当大的分歧,对作物生产力,物种入侵和生物多样性的潜在巨大变化仍然未知。如果对过去导致暖季草蔓延的气候条件没有确切的了解,就很难预测它们未来的反应。本文的重点是数百万年前中新世草类地理分布范围的显著扩大。该项目是第一个收集南美洲中新世降水和植被数据的项目,并利用这些数据模拟这一重要生态变化期间的古代气候。结果导致新的理解如何丰富的暖季草可能会改变自然和管理的景观,以应对未来的环境变化。晚中新世C4草的扩张是在过去6500万年来最戏剧性的生态变化之一。为了预测这些具有重要经济价值的禾本科植物将如何应对未来的环境变化,必须了解控制它们过去分布的因素。在南美洲,C4草的扩张与南美洲夏季风的加强和区域构造变化相一致。该项目将多代理古植被重建与基于代理的古气候重建和古气候建模技术相结合,以了解南美洲构造,气候和环境变化之间的联系。这些结果使人们对C4草的生长条件有了新的认识。这项研究的社会效益包括能够更好地预测C4草的丰度如何在自然和管理景观中变化,以应对未来的环境变化。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
