2022 The Frances M. Peacock Scholarship for Native Bird Habitat
Restoring Climate-Resilient Bird Habitat by Harnessing Local Plant Evolutionary Potential
Rosenblad’s project will explore the physiology, ecology, and evolution of Lemmon’s willow, a shrub that is planted in the restoration of Sierra Nevada meadows and forms a critical breeding and migration habitat for vulnerable and declining bird species. By investigating drought tolerance, Rosenblad will identify factors that shape the shrub’s genetic variation in resistance to drought. This research will help restoration practitioners restore a bird habitat that will be resilient to climate change.
The Frances M. Peacock Scholarship for Native Bird Habitat
To provide financial aid to study areas in the United States that provide seasonal habitat for threatened or endangered native birds and to tend useful information for land-management decisions.
