OpportunityTitle: BLM CA San Joaquin woolly threads seed longevity and climate tolerance study
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This financial assistance opportunity is also open to all partners under any Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit CESU program.  CESUs are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education.  If a cooperative agreement is awarded to a CESU partner under a formally negotiated Master CESU agreement, indirect costs are limited to a rate of no more than 17.5% of the indirect cost base recognized in the partner&apos;s Federal Agency-approved Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement
Description: The primary objectives of this study on San Joaquin woolly threads are to: 1- determine the seed viability curve and estimate maximum seed longevity of San Joaquin woolly threads based on seed viability analysis from herbarium specimens and old seed collections, and 2- examine the response of San Joaquin woolly threads to simulated climates analogous to the Mojave Desert and Sonoran Desert to determine effects of projected climate change on the species.
