The Cooperative Ecoystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes-Northern Forest CESU, through the US Geological Survey, Fort Collins Science Center, is offering a grant for research aimed at understanding and forecasting tropical forest responses to increased temperature. The research should involve modeling and empirical approaches to enhance the scientific community’s ability to forecast biogeochemical cycles in different tropical forest types. The grant also focuses on promoting interdisciplinary communication and collaboration for future research proposals and informing a field warming experiment in Puerto Rico. Closing date for applications is December 6, 2013.
