Global Change, Ultraviolet Radiation Monitoring Program (GCUVM)
The purpose of the GCUVM Program is to support research which: 1. Generates an uninterrupted stream of climatology data; 2. Determines mechanisms and symptoms of plant and animal response; and 3. Develops tightly integrated models to assess regional and national impacts of multiple plant stressors. Climatology data provide a much needed history of dosage, along with seasonal and geographic variability. The GCUVM also seeks to understand how ultraviolet radiation alters plant and animal physiology, development, and ecosystems. Finally, based on crop growth models (adapted for UV-B inputs), data on the Earth's climate, radiation data, and satellite data, will enhance understanding of regional climate-crop interactions. This climate-crop assessment framework is used to predict crop responses to environmental stressors, and ultimately provide valuable information for producers and policy makers as they deal with a changing climate. This program announcement will compete and fund these three program areas separately.
