This four-year, $212,466 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research exploring boreal forest fire feedbacks through multiple timescales. Colorado State University will investigate paleohistory of short-interval fires using lake sediment cores, conduct fieldwork on fire resilience, and use high-performance modeling to estimate future fire behavior. The research aims to determine if current short-interval fires are creating novel...
This $107,197 award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a project by North Dakota State University (NDSU) to investigate the impact of wildfires on soil microbial communities and agricultural recovery in western North Dakota. The two-year project (March 2025 to February 2026) will track microbial composition, functional genetic activity, and soil toxicity across agricultural, rangeland, and unmanaged ecosystems affected by a major...
