- This $199,049 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) supports research to understand how visits by migratory animals like birds, bats, and insects impact plants at stopover sites during their annual migrations. The primary objectives are to use computer modeling to examine how these migratory animals, through pollination, seed dispersal, and other ecological interactions, affect the growth and spread of...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, was awarded a $661,301 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The grant supports the DRAGNET (Disturbance and Recovery Across Grasslands Network) project, which aims to coalesce over 120 scientists from 93 grassland sites worldwide to conduct identical soil disturbance and nutrient addition experiments. This collaborative research network will provide deeper understanding of how grassland ecosystems respond to physical disturbances and changes in nutrient supply caused by human activities, in order to better protect and preserve both wild and human-occupied environments. The 5-year project intends to foster a diverse and inclusive research community, offering networking and collaboration opportunities, particularly for early-career researchers and scientists from developing countries. The findings will be shared through publications, educational materials, and public talks.
