It aims to strengthen understanding of when and how much climate change...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) totals $100,000 and runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The project aims to measure the movement and amount of water and carbon in a Kansas grassland where the climate is getting wetter and the land cover is changing due to shrub encroachment. The interdisciplinary research will: 1) quantify how woody encroachment alters soil...
- This $793,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund research at the University of Colorado to quantify how global environmental changes, such as drought and warming, impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The project aims to transform understanding of the causal mechanisms by which biodiversity responds to global change drivers and how those biodiversity changes then feed back to alter productivity and other ecosystem...
