The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $838,678 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms of functional diversity maintenance in tree-ectomycorrhizal mutualisms. The project, which runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2027, will test the hypothesis that trees maintain a diverse portfolio of fungal partners as a form of "bet-hedging" to adapt to environmental...
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 $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 $1,083,670 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research on the spatiotemporal dynamics of plant-mycorrhizal fungal symbioses across the eastern United States. The primary awardee, the University of Tennessee, will investigate how changing global conditions impact the interactions between plants and mycorrhizal fungi, which provide critical nutrient and water exchange. The research will examine spatial and temporal...
This Project Grant award of $706,641 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to investigate how plant-soil feedbacks and beneficial soil microbes can promote the resilience of piñon pine woodlands to drought in the western United States. The University of New Mexico is the prime awardee and will conduct field inoculations, lab assays, and greenhouse experiments to determine how specialist fungi and their functional traits influence...
This $803,522 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant awarded to the University of California, Berkeley will explore the effects of extreme precipitation and nutrient deposition on root growth and productivity in grassland ecosystems. The 5-year project will test the hypothesis that root system expansion through symbiotic fungal associations, and contraction due to root herbivory by nematodes, mediates the response of root productivity to changes 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 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...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Buried Solution for Agricultural Resilience: Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi" from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2023. This award falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the...
