This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $620,740 supports research into the ecological and evolutionary processes that generated cycad diversity. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will allow University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers to characterize cycad anatomical traits and their impacts on gas exchange and responses to abiotic conditions. Researchers will test relationships between traits and species distributions, and determine if trait...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $1,076,689 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin System to conduct collaborative research on the metabolic pathways that convert carbon fixed by photosynthesis into aromatic amino acids and other aromatic compounds in plants. The project aims to quantify carbon fluxes through the Calvin-Benson cycle, shikimate pathway, and alternative "non-shikimate" pathways, as well as investigate how...
