This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $197,878 to Colorado State University (CSU) to study the effects of reintroducing bison to the grasslands of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. The project, titled "RAPID: RETURNING BISON TO BLACKFEET NATION GRASSLANDS: A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO ADVANCE ECOSYSTEM SCIENCE," aims to establish vegetation survey plots and fencing exclosures to monitor the impacts of bison...
This $793,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund research at the University of Colorado to quantify how global environmental changes, such as drought and warming, impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The project aims to transform understanding of the causal mechanisms by which biodiversity responds to global change drivers and how those biodiversity changes then feed back to alter productivity and other ecosystem...
This $100,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at Kansas State University (KSU) to study how changes in land cover and climate impact water and carbon cycling in grasslands. The project will quantify the effects of woody encroachment on soil hydrology and groundwater processes, as well as measure changes in belowground carbon dynamics in a Kansas grassland ecosystem. By integrating new...
The National Science Foundation awarded Syracuse University a $165,223 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to compile and analyze over three decades of ecological data collected in Yellowstone National Park grasslands. The goals of the project are to: 1) compile 11 independent datasets measuring herbivore impacts on plant and soil processes into a single publicly accessible dataset, 2) determine the relative effects of climate, plant composition, soil properties,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $293,009 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Kansas State University (KSU) for a 3-year research project. The project, titled "Collaborative Research: Adapting Disturbance Management to Future Climate in a Fire-Prone Ecosystem: Does Response of an At-Risk Species Indicate Biodiversity Effects?", will investigate how climate change may modify the effects of fire on biodiversity in longleaf pine savannas,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will provide $916,173 to Colorado State University to develop a conservation tool to help restore declining grassland bird populations across North America. The project will collect data on migratory patterns, genetic health, and reproductive output of three grassland bird species to identify effective conservation actions. This research will be used to build a user-friendly tool for...
This $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
This $1,997,154 federal Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (CFDA 10.912 - Environmental Quality Incentives Program) aims to provide comprehensive support to bison producers in the Great Plains region. The central focus is on utilizing bison as a sustainable grazer, complemented by the introduction of winter bale grazing techniques. The primary recipient, South Dakota State University, will leverage its expertise in...
This four-year, $1.14 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the cumulative effects of ecological and social stressors on integrated ranching-wildlife systems in the western United States. The University of Illinois is the primary awardee and will partner with Oregon State University, the University of Michigan, the University of Idaho, and The Ohio State University on the research. The project aims to better...
This Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture provides $649,672 in funding under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program (CFDA #10.310) to Colorado State University from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025. The award supports research focused on understanding drought recovery in dry grasslands of the central United States through conducting a drought recovery experiment. Key products...
