University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) received a $750,000 Project Grant from the Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI program, CFDA 10.310) to conduct research on how prescribed fire affects soil carbon and soil microbes in Eastern U.S. forests. The goal is to understand if prescribed fire increases the stability of soil carbon, which could offset the carbon dioxide released during burning. UGA Research Foundation will...
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) was awarded a $900,000 federal Project Grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The goal of this 4-year project is to improve sustainable forest management through enhanced harvest planning, data-driven decision-making, and reduced timber harvest site impacts. Key objectives include characterizing machinery travel patterns...
This federal Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service's Forest Health Protection program (CFDA 10.680) provides $133,333.00 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to assess the interactions between prescribed fire regimes and southern pine beetle activity on forests in Georgia. The project will be executed over a 5-year period from September 10, 2024 to September 9, 2029. The goal is to develop improved forest health monitoring...
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) was awarded a $179,304 Project Grant under the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to conduct research on the agroecological consequences of surplus phosphorus in agricultural systems. The project has two primary objectives: 1) conducting manipulative field experiments on collaborating farms to measure the effects of high versus low phosphorus levels on predation of insect herbivores, and...
