Additional Information

Agency Name: Geological Survey
Description: The USGS Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is
offering a funding opportunity for research investigating
the effects of drought on regeneration of dryland forests
across the U.S. Southwest.

Ponderosa pine forests in the SW CASC region are
declining and their future persistence is highly
uncertain. However, increasing evidence suggests that
past and current research has not identified the greatest
risk to these ecosystems – they will fail to regenerate
in a less favorable climate. To combat these declines
and support forest resilience, land managers employ
actions including tree stand and understory thinning.
Because the factors influencing regeneration are not
well-understood, it is unclear how management actions
support regeneration and if they will be effective in the
future. USGS is researching the multiple biotic and
abiotic factors supporting regeneration of ponderosa
pine, with particular focus on understanding population-
level stress tolerance and enhancing predictive modeling
capabilities. The research is designed to address several
pressing research topics related to ponderosa pine
regeneration that emerged in discussions with our land
management cooperators at USFWS, USFS, and the Nature
Conservancy.
