This $490,526 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant supports research at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) focused on understanding how the interactions between trees and soil fungi help trees adapt to changing environments. Key activities under the grant include greenhouse experiments, mathematical modeling, and field surveys to investigate the...
This $549,948 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research conducted by the University of California, Berkeley to study the metabolites and nutrient dynamics of mutualistic fungi that form symbiotic relationships with loblolly pine trees. The key objectives are to: Identify the bioactive compounds made by the fungi that are used to defend against competitors, and determine the cost of producing these compounds....
This National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $127,687 to Warren Wilson College to conduct collaborative research on the role of plant-associated microbes in forest ecosystems from November 2022 to May 2025. The research will explore how tree diversity influences leaf and root microbiome communities, leaf chemistry, insect populations, and ultimately tree productivity. Researchers will leverage a 32-acre tree biodiversity experiment in...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Functional Biogeography of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi: Elucidating Cross-Scale Mechanisms that Inform Global Models" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The grant was awarded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA #47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and...
This $514,088 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the "FORWARD" experiment led by Harvard University to study how temperate forest ecosystems will respond to the combined effects of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide, increased temperatures, and drought. The project establishes a large-scale experimental system to examine the interactive impacts of these global change factors on the physiology, growth, and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi impacts pollination and plant fitness in anthropogenically disturbed environments. The grant, provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research from August 2021 to July 2023 exploring how the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi is impacted by human disturbances and influences plant reproduction. The Biological Sciences program aims to...
This $223,991 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. Over a four-year period ending in February 2027, the University of Arizona will investigate how seed chemistry, environmental conditions, and genetic factors determine outcomes of seed-fungal relationships in tropical forests. Researchers will use metabolomics and assays to study seed...
This $344,201 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. Specifically, the Utah State University-led collaborative effort will examine how seed chemistry impacts susceptibility to fungal infection and pathogenicity. It will also explore how the physical environment and maternal genotype influence fungal community composition and host susceptibility across landscape scales in Panama. Combining...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure provides $138,000 to fund research titled "How Spatial and Temporal Variation in Environment and Soil Fungal Diversity Shapes Plant Phenotypes." The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $293,033 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to examine how plant diversity impacts the resilience of forests to climate change. The award is made through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The project will analyze field data, forest inventories,...
