The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded $188,656 under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the University of Georgia Research Foundation from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2026. This Project Grant will support collaborative research evaluating how iron cycling impacts the temperature sensitivity of heterotrophic respiration in humid tropical soils over time. The research combines field experiments leveraging the Tropical Responses to...
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 $352,979 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Texas A&M AgriLife Research to disentangle the effects of land use intensification on soil weathering processes. The project aims to: Determine dominant weathering patterns and quantify weathering and erosion rates due to agricultural intensification across soils and environmental gradients. Quantify the effect of management intensification on weathering...
This Project Grant award for $923,715 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a state government entity and 1862 land-grant college within the Texas A&M University System. The project aims to improve understanding of how water, carbon, and nitrogen cycling in soils are linked across local to landscape scales. The research will involve field, laboratory, and scaling studies to examine how soil properties and...
This Project Grant award of $495,178 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Chapman University to investigate the interactive effects of ecosystem warming and precipitation regime disturbance on tropical soil greenhouse gas emissions. The key objectives are to: (1) quantify soil carbon dioxide and methane flux under varying warming and precipitation scenarios in a field experiment, (2) assess how preceding soil moisture and...
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. The project aims to develop a mechanistic understanding of how soil morphology and management practices mediate the effects of environmental stressors like high vapor pressure...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $183,600 Project Grant to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to study how climate change affects soil fungi. The 3-year grant, which runs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, supports research to develop a trait-based framework for understanding and predicting fungal community responses to global change drivers. The project has three main objectives: 1) create a trait-based framework using advanced...
This $178,508 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program supports collaborative research to investigate how soil microbes in dryland ecosystems can maximize resistance to climate change impacts. The project, titled "ORCC: From Organisms to Ecosystems: Can Soil Microbes Maximize Dryland Resistance to Climate Disruption?", aims to characterize the climate resistance of common dryland microbe species, discover how to assemble...
This $150,239 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research between the University of Texas at Austin and international partners to investigate the ecosystem service of the oxalate-carbonate pathway and its sensitivity to land use change. The research will develop understanding of how the conversion of calcium oxalate in plant materials to calcium carbonate through soil microbiota provides a natural means to sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide as a stable mineral...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) project grant, awarded to the University of Puerto Rico - Rio Piedras Campus, provides $150,000.00 over five years from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2028. The project conducts collaborative research to understand how the timing and success of reproduction in tropical plants varies due to within-year seasonality, multi-year climate cycles, and the effects of climate change. The research takes place at three tropical...
