The University of New Hampshire will receive $260,000 in funding from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology through the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The funding will support collaborative research examining mineral-associated organic matter as an overlooked source and mediator of bioavailable nitrogen. The research aims to advance understanding of major problems confronting the nation in the...
This two-year, $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the links between soil nitrogen enrichment, mineral weathering, and the persistence of organic matter in soils. The grantee, located in Portland, Oregon, will investigate how nitric acid produced through biological nitrogen fixation affects the weathering of basalt parent material and the subsequent formation and stability of mineral-associated organic matter...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,036 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The grant, titled "CAREER: Influence of Soil Phosphorus on Soil Organic Matter Dynamics," aims to understand the role of phosphorus in the stabilization and persistence of soil organic matter. The project will use laboratory and field experiments, spectroscopic, and microscopic tools to assess the ability of phosphorus...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $491,409 to President & Trustees of Williams College to conduct research on how nitrogen fertilization impacts soil carbon formation and cycling in northern deciduous forests. The key products and services to be delivered include: Leveraging a field experiment to investigate the biogeochemical mechanisms underlying soil carbon responses to nitrogen enrichment across...
This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
This Project Grant award of $260,103, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to advance knowledge and modeling of watershed nitrogen reactive transport. The primary objectives are to better understand the linkages between subsurface storage, flow path variations, and biogeochemical nitrogen cycling, and to quantify the source-sink strength and mass balance of nitrogen in tile-drained Midwestern agricultural watersheds. The research will...
This $888,463 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of Michigan to assess the contribution of nitrogen from soil organic matter on plant growth response to elevated carbon dioxide levels. Specifically, the award supports evaluating how trees potentially access nitrogen bound in soil organic matter using ectomycorrhizal fungi under field conditions. It also assesses how access to additional nitrogen from this source could increase net primary productivity,...
This $371,175 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The goal of this collaborative research project is to develop a functional model for predicting soil organic matter composition and cycling at the continental scale. Researchers from the University of Georgia Research Foundation will leverage existing data and new samples from the National Ecological Observatory...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $323,935 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin System to conduct collaborative research on modeling soil organic matter composition at a continental scale. The project aims to reconcile debates around the nature of soil organic matter and the factors controlling its decomposition and ability to supply nitrogen to plants. The research team will leverage existing data and new measurements from the National...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $309,557, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The purpose of the project is to investigate the fate of nitrogen in amino acids and the processes that contribute to the formation of refractory dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in the ocean. Using stable isotope probing and advanced mass spectrometry techniques, the study will trace the transformation of different amino acids...
