This grant, offered by the US Geological Survey, Fort Collins Science Center, is for research focused on understanding and predicting tropical forest responses to rising temperatures across various temporal and spatial scales. The primary objective is to evaluate, compare, and enhance our capability to forecast how these vital ecosystems will react to increased heat. This initiative seeks to improve the scientific community’s ability to predict the biogeochemical cycle responses of different tropical forest types. Furthermore, it aims to foster improved communication and understanding among diverse disciplines, generating new ideas for future research. The findings will also inform the hypotheses and measurements for a forthcoming field warming experiment scheduled for Puerto Rico, contributing to critical climate change research.
