This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award to Boise State University for $365,455 provides funding to conduct collaborative research examining the interactions between wildfires and an emerging plant disease and their potential to trigger permanent shifts in coastal forest ecosystems in the western United States.
The key objectives of this 3-year research project are to: 1) quantify the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland transitions to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $176,388 to Oregon State University (OSU) aims to quantify the production of pyrogenic carbon (charcoal) during wildfires in the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest region and examine how this altered carbon affects soil carbon cycling during ecosystem regeneration.
The study will leverage a unique dataset on the 2023 Lookout Fire in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest to (i)...
This $273,043 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to North Carolina State University. The grant supports a collaborative research project examining how interactions between wildfires and an emerging plant disease may shift coastal forests to shrublands in the western United States. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland transitions to repeated fire and disease disturbances; 2)...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,914 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Wisconsin (UW) System's UW-Madison campus on June 1, 2024. The grant supports a rapid response research project to study the effects of the 2023 wildfires in Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park on soil carbon cycling.
Specifically, the researchers will collect pre- and post-wildfire soil samples to quantify carbon losses due to combustion versus...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $162,477 to investigate long-term human fire management and environmental change in high-elevation social-ecological systems in the Pacific Northwest. The primary objectives are to: conduct archaeological surveys; interpret early Holocene subsistence and burning practices; and evaluate how human-environment interactions have shaped high-elevation...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $195,763 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Oregon State University (OSU) to investigate the ecosystem-level impacts of the 2023 Lookout Fire along Lookout Creek in Oregon. The research aims to understand changes in stream ecosystem structure and function, focusing on microbial decomposition, aquatic vertebrates, and riparian wildlife. Key activities include assessing microbial decomposition rates, conducting...
This $343,332 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research at the University of Washington to study the impact of increasing boreal forest fires on the Arctic climate and sea ice. The research aims to:
Examine how the increased transport of smoke and black carbon from boreal forest fires to the Arctic affects the region's climate and sea ice through warming and cooling effects. This will involve running climate model simulations...
This four-year, $212,466 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research exploring boreal forest fire feedbacks through multiple timescales. Colorado State University will investigate paleohistory of short-interval fires using lake sediment cores, conduct fieldwork on fire resilience, and use high-performance modeling to estimate future fire behavior. The research aims to determine if current short-interval fires are creating...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $270,278 to the University of Rhode Island (URI) Research Office to conduct collaborative research on resolving past fire-climate relationships to understand future fire potential in the Eastern United States. The project will analyze paleofire records from sediment samples to characterize regional fire-climate relationships prior to human impacts. Through empirical data collection,...
This $1,674,172 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to enhance the efficacy and equity of forest-based climate solutions (FBCS) in the Eastern United States. The key objectives are to:
Quantify how common forest management practices impact carbon storage, climate resilience, and co-benefits like water/nutrient retention and biodiversity through a network of long-term forest management...
