The National Science Foundation awarded a $699,989 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison through the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will support research to leverage spectroscopy and in situ soil sensing to predict key microbial functions influencing soil carbon sequestration. The interdisciplinary team will integrate field observations, soil spectral data, and lab analyses of soil carbon fractions, microbial activity and metabolites. This will quantify...
This Project Grant award for $923,715 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a state government entity and 1862 land-grant college within the Texas A&M University System. The project aims to improve understanding of how water, carbon, and nitrogen cycling in soils are linked across local to landscape scales. The research will involve field, laboratory, and scaling studies to examine how soil properties and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $323,935 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin System to conduct collaborative research on modeling soil organic matter composition at a continental scale. The project aims to reconcile debates around the nature of soil organic matter and the factors controlling its decomposition and ability to supply nitrogen to plants. The research team will leverage existing data and new measurements from the National...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $305,824 to Oregon State University supports research to investigate how changes in land cover and climate are impacting water and carbon cycles in grasslands. The key activities include: Quantifying how woody encroachment alters soil water flow and groundwater dynamics in the Konza Prairie research site in Kansas. Measuring the impact of woody encroachment on carbon processes like respiration and...
This Project Grant award for $260,103 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Illinois. The primary objective is to better understand the linkages between subsurface storage, flow path variations, and biogeochemical nitrogen cycling in tile-drained Midwestern agricultural watersheds. The research will integrate water age data and nitrate isotope analysis to quantify nitrogen source-sink strength and mass balance. The...
This $420,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) aims to quantify the fate of weathered carbon within an agricultural river system in Illinois. The research team at the University of Washington will measure how submerged plants and algae uptake bicarbonate and convert it back to CO2, as well as assess how seasonal changes impact the balance between carbon sequestration and re-emission from enhanced mineral weathering (EMW). This...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $285,878 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison will fund research to investigate how fractures in underground rock formations influence the movement of water, solutes, and colloids through the subsurface. The key objectives are to: 1) experimentally quantify flow channelization and fracture-matrix exchange using advanced imaging techniques, 2) measure and model differences between solute and...
This $352,979 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Texas A&M AgriLife Research to disentangle the effects of land use intensification on soil weathering processes.
