This $177,268 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at Washington State University from January 2023 through December 2025. The research aims to better understand the role of trees in the global water and methane cycles by simultaneously measuring radon, methane, and water fluxes across a wetland-upland gradient. Field data will be used to develop numerical...
This $307,496 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at the Smithsonian Institution from January 2023 through December 2025. The research aims to better understand the role of trees in the global water and methane cycles. It will examine how water and environmental factors influence methane emissions from forest soils and trees, using radon as a novel tracer....
The National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded American University a $188,694 project grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support research from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The grant funding will support the university's proposed research project "A U-Statistic Approach to Population Genetics," which aims to advance understanding of major problems in the biological sciences through basic scientific...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded Michigan Technological University a $659,611 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024. The research aims to determine if tree encroachment with altered hydrology in peatlands accelerates or suppresses decomposition. Key products and services include analyzing fungal community structure and function, characterizing...
Arizona State University was awarded $479,978 under a Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to conduct collaborative research understanding the biophysical drivers of the methane source-sink transition in northern forests. The research will be conducted at the Howland Research Forest in Maine, where researchers have been measuring methane fluctuations since 2012 and have found the forest usually serves as a methane sink but occasionally becomes a...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $651,159 Project Grant to the University of North Texas under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of August 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023. The grant will support research to estimate the water and particulate mass flux across major US forest types transported by throughfall and stemflow. The university will monitor these variables and particulate composition across 11 sites of the National Ecological Observatory...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $859,653 to the University of Texas at Austin from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2028. The funding supports research to develop and test models of tropical and temperate forest structure and dynamics through analysis of data from the Smithsonian's Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO) network. Investigators will leverage...
This $165,410 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research at North Carolina State University to examine the biophysical drivers that cause northern forests to transition between being methane sinks and sources. The research aims to identify the conditions and mechanisms by which soil microbial communities, landscape factors, and environmental conditions influence seasonal and annual methane fluxes in forests. This...
This $372,663 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems will fund research into drought and cold resistance of northeastern US tree species. The grant is part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and enhance understanding of major problems. Specifically, the grant will fund extensive field measurements and a manipulative experiment to...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $631,968 to Trustees of Boston University for collaborative research evaluating hypotheses of long-term woody carbon dynamics in the American Upper Midwest. The research will develop quantitative reconstructions of aboveground woody biomass pools across the region over the past 10,000 years, using statistical modeling of fossil pollen records....
