项目摘要

This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Temperate forests remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than any other terrestrial ecosystem and thus play a critical role in slowing the rate of climate change. However, temperate forests are also the most heavily fragmented forest biome in the world. Deforestation from urbanization and agricultural expansion creates heterogeneous landscapes with large spatial gradients in growing conditions for trees. Trees at the forest edge grow faster than those in the forest interior, yet are more negatively impacted by extreme weather like high temperatures and drought. The mechanisms explaining why tree growth in fragmented forests is more negatively impacted by climate stress than in intact forests remain unknown. The scientific community’s understanding of how climate affects tree growth and forest carbon sequestration are largely based on studies from interior forest ecosystems, away from forest edges. This past focus on interior forests limits our understanding of carbon cycling across the large and growing proportion of temperate forests that is influenced by fragmentation. This study integrates a field experiment and modeling to test the interactive effects of forest fragmentation and climate on tree growth and forest carbon sequestration. The project is intended to transform how we think about the future of the temperate forest’s capacity to sequester carbon in a world facing ongoing changes in climate and land cover and thus will inform climate change mitigation strategies. This work is paired with initiatives aimed at addressing major barriers to inclusion in environmental biology and improving communication between academics and stakeholders, including engaging minority students and high school teachers in research and holding workshops with academics, educators, and forest managers. The goals of the proposed work are to develop a mechanistic understanding of the interactive effects of forest fragmentation and climate on forest carbon sequestration and the role these interactions play in modulating carbon balance across human-dominated landscapes. These goals will be accomplished by establishing a new experiment to manipulate precipitation regimes (i.e., ambient precipitation, high precipitation, and drought) in both edge-influenced and interior temperate broadleaf forests. This experiment will also leverage naturally occurring variations in air temperature across time to explore the roles of forest fragmentation and water availability in forest carbon sequestration response to excessive heat. Data generated from this experiment will be used to modify an existing Earth system model (the Energy Exascale Earth System Model) to improve depictions of forest carbon cycling across human-landscapes and in response to climate change.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.
该奖项的全部或部分资金来自《2021年美国救援计划法案》(公法117-2)。温度森林从大气中吸收的二氧化碳比任何其他陆地生态系统都多,因此在减缓气候变化速度方面发挥着关键作用。然而,温带森林也是世界上最分散的森林生物群。城市化和农业扩张造成的森林砍伐造成了树木生长条件的空间梯度很大的异质景观。森林边缘的树木比森林内部的树木生长得更快,但受到高温和干旱等极端天气的负面影响更大。解释为什么零碎森林中的树木生长受到气候压力的负面影响比完整森林中的树木更严重的机制尚不清楚。科学界对气候如何影响树木生长和森林碳汇的理解主要基于远离森林边缘的内部森林生态系统的研究。过去对森林内部的关注限制了我们对受碎片化影响的大量且不断增长的温带森林中碳循环的理解。本研究采用野外实验和模拟相结合的方法,研究了森林破碎化和气候对树木生长和森林碳汇的交互作用。该项目旨在改变我们在面临气候和土地覆盖持续变化的世界中对温带森林固碳能力未来的看法,从而为气候变化缓解战略提供参考。这项工作与旨在解决纳入环境生物学的主要障碍和改善学者与利益攸关方之间沟通的倡议相配合,包括让少数族裔学生和高中教师参与研究,并与学者、教育工作者和森林管理人员举办研讨会。拟议工作的目标是从机制上理解森林片断化和气候对森林碳汇的相互影响,以及这些相互作用在调节人类主导的景观中的碳平衡方面所起的作用。这些目标将通过建立一个新的实验来实现,以控制边缘影响和内陆温带阔叶林的降水制度(即环境降水、高降水和干旱)。这项实验还将利用自然发生的气温随时间的变化来探索森林碎片化和水可获得性在森林碳汇对过热的反应中的作用。这项实验产生的数据将用于修改现有的地球系统模型(能量亿级地球系统模型),以改善对人类景观和气候变化中森林碳循环的描述。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
