This $344,201 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. Specifically, the Utah State University-led collaborative effort will examine how seed chemistry impacts susceptibility to fungal infection and pathogenicity. It will also explore how the physical environment and maternal genotype influence fungal community composition and host susceptibility across landscape scales in Panama. Combining...
The University of Illinois was awarded a $166,372 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to support collaborative research on seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. The four-year award, effective March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2027, will fund research and training under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the grant will support research investigating how seed chemistry...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi impacts pollination and plant fitness in anthropogenically disturbed environments. The grant, provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research from August 2021 to July 2023 exploring how the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi is impacted by human disturbances and influences plant reproduction. The Biological Sciences program aims to...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $380,156 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MRA: DISTRIBUTIONS OF MACROFUNGI: QUANTIFYING ECOSYSTEM AND CLIMATE DRIVERS OF FUNGAL REPRODUCTION." The grant was awarded on January 1, 2022 with a completion date of December 31, 2025 under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The University of Arizona will use the funding to...
This $549,948 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research conducted by the University of California, Berkeley to study the metabolites and nutrient dynamics of mutualistic fungi that form symbiotic relationships with loblolly pine trees. The key objectives are to: Identify the bioactive compounds made by the fungi that are used to defend against competitors, and determine the cost of producing these compounds....
This $490,526 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant supports research at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) focused on understanding how the interactions between trees and soil fungi help trees adapt to changing environments. Key activities under the grant include greenhouse experiments, mathematical modeling, and field surveys to investigate the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining priority effects within and between fungal symbiont guilds associated with a native grass species, Schizachyrium scoparium. The research will manipulate the order of arrival of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root endophytic fungi to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $838,678 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms of functional diversity maintenance in tree-ectomycorrhizal mutualisms. The project, which runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2027, will test the hypothesis that trees maintain a diverse portfolio of fungal partners as a form of "bet-hedging" to adapt to environmental...
This $287,115 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research on continent-wide forest recruitment change and its interactions with climate, habitat, and consumers in North America. The University of California, Merced will conduct the research from September 2022 through August 2026. Key products include quantifying current trends in tree seed production, seedling establishment, and recruitment rates across climate and habitat...
