This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $176,388 to Oregon State University (OSU) aims to quantify the production of pyrogenic carbon (charcoal) during wildfires in the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest region and examine how this altered carbon affects soil carbon cycling during ecosystem regeneration. The study will leverage a unique dataset on the 2023 Lookout Fire in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest to (i)...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $829,191 to Oregon State University to conduct research aimed at understanding how wildfires affect water resources in the Pacific Northwest. The project will investigate the impacts of varying wildfire intensity and soil conditions on snow accumulation, melt, and underground water storage in the Willamette National Forest. Key activities include snow surveys, geophysical measurements, soil...
The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded Oregon State University $734,093 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program to quantify the effects of wildfire and post-fire land management practices on soil properties, biogeochemical processes, and vegetation recovery from 2022 to 2026. The goal of the research is to facilitate improved policy and management decisions that will reduce soil erodibility, improve soil nutrient...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,999,048 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Oregon. The grant, effective January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2028, will support the "UROL:ASC: Using Rules of Life to Capture Atmospheric Carbon: Interdisciplinary Convergence to Accelerate Research on Biological Sequestration (CARBS)" project. The project aims to combine indigenous knowledge, artificial intelligence, and environmental...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $305,824 to Oregon State University supports research to investigate how changes in land cover and climate are impacting water and carbon cycles in grasslands. The key activities include: Quantifying how woody encroachment alters soil water flow and groundwater dynamics in the Konza Prairie research site in Kansas. Measuring the impact of woody encroachment on carbon processes like respiration and...
This two-year, $180,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds research into the impacts of forest fires on soil carbon biogeochemistry and the forest carbon cycle under a changing climate. Dr. Fettrow of Ardmore, Pennsylvania will investigate how forest fires alter belowground soil carbon levels and biogeochemistry. The researcher will determine the magnitude of soil carbon loss during fires and how post-fire soils and carbon storage are changed. Integrated laboratory and field...
