The U.S. Geological Survey’s Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystem Research Program is offering a significant funding opportunity. This grant is specifically for a CESU-affiliated partner to undertake crucial research focused on modeling the spread and control of invasive plants within southern Florida’s unique ecosystems. As part of the Across Trophic Level System Situation (ATLSS) program, the primary purpose is to develop sophisticated modeling tools that can provide robust guidance for the sustainable management of harmful plant species, such as the Melaleuca tree. The research is also expected to produce models applicable to a broader range of invasive flora, ultimately supporting more effective environmental conservation and mitigation efforts against ecological damage.

| Description: | The U. S. Geological Survey’s Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystem Research Program is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in modeling the spread and control of invasive plants as part of the Across Trophic Level System Situation (ATLSS) program. This is aimed at the development of modeling that can provide guidance to the sustainable control of plant species in southern Florida that have caused substantial harm to the environment. This will include the Melaleuca tree (Melaleuca quinquenervia) but will be expected to develop modeling that can be applied to a broader array of invasive plants. |
