The Regents of the University of Idaho received a $2,669,046 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research on how biological communities respond to environmental stresses like wildfire and drought. The project, titled "EMBER: Embedding Molecular Biology in Ecosystem Research in an Era of Increasing Wildfire and Drought", aims to identify key traits and variables that govern how forests and microorganisms interact with compounding stresses. The award will support laboratory experiments, field manipulations, and ecosystem modeling to understand the physiological and evolutionary responses of model organisms to fire and drought conditions, and how these responses impact forest resilience and carbon storage. The University of Idaho will lead this 6-year effort and partner with the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, and University of Missouri System as sub-awardees to engage indigenous communities, develop educational programs, and integrate molecular and ecosystem research approaches.
