This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will support collaborative research on boreal forest fire feedbacks from 2023 to 2027. The $138,467 award to the University of Colorado Denver will explore the paleohistory of short interval fires in boreal forests through analysis of lake sediment cores. Fieldwork will determine the resilience of current landscapes to short interval fires and whether these are creating novel forest structures. High-performance...
Colorado State University was awarded a $571,256 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research examining the role of soil microbiome resilience in ecosystem recovery following severe wildfires. As part of its mission to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $201,625 Project Grant to Bates College under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to research the relationship between fire and climate in the Eastern United States. The project aims to better understand long-term fire-climate dynamics in the region and inform climate adaptation efforts related to wildfire risk. Key activities include developing and analyzing Holocene-era paleoclimate data to characterize regional fire patterns prior...
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 $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $1,031,339 to the University of Washington will fund research to study how disturbances and heterogeneity in temperate maritime forests of the U.S. Pacific Northwest affect ecosystem resilience to increasing wildfire activity driven by climate change. The project will integrate remotely sensed data on forest structure and wildfire patterns with new field measurements to test hypotheses on...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award in the amount of $446,865 to the University of Denver provides funding for a collaborative research project to integrate leaf metabolomics and tree demographic models to understand the impacts of climate change on forests in the Rocky Mountains and Smoky Mountains. The project aims to develop early-warning markers of tree mortality risk and provide accurate forecasts of forest health under changing...
This $558,676 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research to investigate the interactive effects of fire and plant invasion on soil microbiomes and biogeochemistry in the southwestern United States. The project aims to understand how weedy, non-native plants can promote wildfires and affect post-fire habitat recovery through changes in soil microbial communities and organic matter. The research will design...
