This $558,676 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Arizona aims to investigate the interactive effects of wildfire and plant invasion on soil microbiomes and biogeochemistry. The research will study how weedy plants and fire impact soil microbial communities and organic matter, with the goal of developing soil inocula and native plant seed mixtures to promote post-fire ecosystem recovery. Key activities...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $1,275,000 to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to study the shift from grasslands to shrublands in dryland ecosystems of the Southwestern United States. The 6-year project, running from March 2025 to February 2031, aims to advance understanding of how weather, land management, erosion, and species interactions influence this ecosystem transition and its impacts on carbon...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award to the CAL Poly Corporation, a non-profit auxiliary serving California Polytechnic State University, provides $280,817 from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 to conduct collaborative research on how interactions between wildfires and an emerging plant disease may shift coastal forests to shrublands in the western United States. The research aims to: 1) quantify the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) to North Dakota State University will investigate the impact of wildfires on soil microbial communities and agricultural recovery in western North Dakota. The $107,197 award, effective March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2026, will support an interdisciplinary study to track microbial composition, functional genetic activity, and soil toxicity across agricultural, rangeland, and unmanaged ecosystems....
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $706,641.00 and made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), is supporting collaborative research to investigate the role of plant-soil feedbacks in sustaining the resilience of piñon woodlands to severe drought. The research aims to determine how beneficial soil microbes, particularly ectomycorrhizal fungi, can aid the recruitment and growth of piñon pine seedlings in areas affected...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $365,455 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Boise State University to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of wildfire and plant disease disturbances on forest-to-shrubland transitions. The 3-year project, starting on September 1, 2024, will: 1) quantify the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland transitions to repeated fire and disease disturbances; 2) identify biogeochemical and disturbance-related feedbacks...
This Project Grant award of $533,020 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project between ecologists and microbiologists at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) to study the role of soil microbes in improving the resistance of drylands to climate change-driven soil degradation. The key research activities include: 1) characterizing the heat and drought resistance of common dryland microbe species, 2) discovering how to...
This $202,001 Project Grant was awarded on May 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) to Northern Arizona University (NAU). The grant aims to study plant-soil feedbacks and the resilience of piñon-juniper woodlands to drought in the western United States. Key products and services include: The project will test the hypothesis that positive feedbacks between piñon pine trees and specialist soil microbes, such as...
