This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $193,119 will fund research to advance understanding of soil fungal biodiversity patterns across North America. Leveraging two extensive DNA sequencing datasets from the National Ecological Observatory Network and Dimensions of Biodiversity Project on North American Soil Fungi, the University of Michigan team will apply novel modeling techniques to identify key environmental variables influencing fungal community composition and geographic...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi impacts pollination and plant fitness in anthropogenically disturbed environments. The grant, provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research from August 2021 to July 2023 exploring how the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi is impacted by human disturbances and influences plant reproduction. The Biological Sciences program aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining priority effects within and between fungal symbiont guilds associated with a native grass species, Schizachyrium scoparium. The research will manipulate the order of arrival of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root endophytic fungi to...
