This $371,175 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The goal of this collaborative research project is to develop a functional model for predicting soil organic matter composition and cycling at the continental scale. Researchers from the University of Georgia Research Foundation will leverage existing data and new samples from the National Ecological Observatory...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,036 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The grant, titled "CAREER: Influence of Soil Phosphorus on Soil Organic Matter Dynamics," aims to understand the role of phosphorus in the stabilization and persistence of soil organic matter. The project will use laboratory and field experiments, spectroscopic, and microscopic tools to assess the ability of phosphorus...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $174,000 to study the connections between silicate weathering and organic carbon cycling in watersheds within the Upper Deschutes Basin in Oregon from September 2021 through August 2023. The grant supports basic research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the...
This Project Grant award for $836,711 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to advance the understanding of soil processes that control carbon storage. The key objectives are to: Quantify the impact of burn severity, soil type, erosion, and time since fire on the quality and quantity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and pyrogenic carbon (PYC) in soils and outflow water through field sampling and laboratory experiments. Establish a...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $392,802 will fund research from March 2022 through February 2025 to quantify relationships between topography, soil properties, and soil organic carbon in fire-prone landscapes in Oregon. The awardee, University of Oregon, will collect data on the extent, depth, and age of soil organic carbon at recently burned mountainous study sites in southwest Oregon. The research aims to inform soil management and carbon sequestration efforts by examining...
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...
This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $491,409 to President & Trustees of Williams College to conduct research on how nitrogen fertilization impacts soil carbon formation and cycling in northern deciduous forests.
