This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), focuses on understanding the carbon cycling and methane dynamics of tropical peatlands across the Pan-American region. The $826,235 award, effective from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2029, will enable researchers at Stanford University to conduct systematic field measurements and data analysis to gain insights into the hydrological thresholds, peat formation rates, and methane production and emissions patterns in these ecosystems. The research aims to improve mechanistic understanding of the complex plant-soil-water-nutrient-carbon interactions in tropical peatlands, which play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. The project also involves training the next generation of scientists through field workshops, hybrid data analysis training, and the development of high-quality instructional videos in English and Spanish. The findings from this research are expected to contribute to Earth system science expertise, inform policy and land management decisions, and advance the peatland, wetland, and carbon cycling research communities.
