The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $706,641 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to conduct collaborative research on integrating plant-soil feedbacks with resilience theory for piñon woodlands under drought stress. The 4-year project, starting on May 1, 2025, aims to investigate how beneficial soil microbes, particularly ectomycorrhizal fungi, can promote seedling recruitment and improve the resilience of piñon pine...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $138,000 will fund research and broader impacts activities from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2025 related to understanding the influence of climate change on fungal endophyte decomposition of plant litter. The award was made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences. Specifically, the fellow will test hypotheses about how climate, fungal endophyte communities, and their interaction...
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 three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $240,000 will fund research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes in the context of soil carbon allocation among mycorrhizal species under global change. Specifically, the grantee will examine how different plant and fungal species trade carbon for nutrients and how much carbon gets transferred to soils. Using isotopic labeling, the "carbon cost" of different...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $193,119 will fund research to advance understanding of soil fungal biodiversity patterns across North America. Leveraging two extensive DNA sequencing datasets from the National Ecological Observatory Network and Dimensions of Biodiversity Project on North American Soil Fungi, the University of Michigan team will apply novel modeling techniques to identify key environmental variables influencing fungal community composition and geographic...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $150,235 to the University of New Hampshire from January 2022 through December 2025. The grant supports research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MRA: DISTRIBUTIONS OF MACROFUNGI: QUANTIFYING ECOSYSTEM AND CLIMATE DRIVERS OF FUNGAL REPRODUCTION" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to increase scientific understanding of major problems in...
This $164,793 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program aims to discover microbial solutions that promote soil health in drylands under climate change. The research activities focus on characterizing the climate resistance of common dryland microbe species, assembling microbial communities that maximize resistance to heat and drought, and field-testing the application of climate-ready microbial assemblages to reverse long-term soil...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,051,699 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Yale University. The three-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, aims to study the genetic and environmental interactions governing mycoparasitism, the phenomenon where certain fungi attack and parasitize other fungal species. The research will focus on the dynamics of the rhizosphere fungal community, including mycorrhizal fungi that have a symbiotic relationship...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $716,280 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana. The grant funds a collaborative research project to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on the interactions between parasitic botfly larvae and high-elevation deer mice populations. The research aims to develop predictive models for how novel host-parasite dynamics may evolve under shifting environmental...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $188,491 to the University of New Mexico to conduct a long-term study on the ecological impacts of fungal microbes on their host grass plants. The research team is exploring how the presence or absence of these microbial symbionts affects the year-to-year variability and overall stability of host plant populations. This 5-year project will build upon a unique 15-year dataset...
