The investigator will monitor experimental treatments including locally occurring crushed basalt and an industrial slag...
- This $836,711 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to the University of Georgia Research Foundation will fund a 5-year research project to advance understanding of soil processes that control carbon storage and loss. The project aims to determine the importance of factors like burn severity, soil type, and erosion in driving the quality and quantity of dissolved organic matter and pyrogenic carbon in soils and water outflow. The research will...
- This $200,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Texas A&M Agrilife Research to develop self-organizing principles for upscaling ecosystem water and heterotrophic carbon fluxes. The research aims to understand how heterotrophic respiration varies across biomes and climates depending on macroscopic environmental variables such as rainfall and vegetation productivity. It combines experimental data from multiple observational networks and mathematical models of...
- This $303,642 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research to quantify global carbon cycle feedbacks during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, a past period of global warming. Led by the University of California Santa Cruz, the research team will measure how volcanism contributed to atmospheric carbon dioxide rise during this event and constrain total carbon emissions through new ocean acidification records. They will also develop novel carbon cycle modeling to compare...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $323,935 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin System to conduct collaborative research on modeling soil organic matter composition at a continental scale. The project aims to reconcile debates around the nature of soil organic matter and the factors controlling its decomposition and ability to supply nitrogen to plants. The research team will leverage existing data and new measurements from the National...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,810 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to investigate the impact of drought, heat waves, and soil characteristics on water and carbon cycling in forested agricultural ecosystems in the Chihuahuan Desert.
