This federal Project Grant award for $335,911, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research to investigate how interactions between wildfires and an emerging plant disease may lead to permanent shifts in coastal forests to shrublands in the western United States. The research team from the University of Georgia Research Foundation will: 1) quantify the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland transitions to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $307,382 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Boise State University. The three-year grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research to measure how climate change may disrupt the species interactions that shape local adaptation in big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) populations. The project will integrate field and lab-based reciprocal transplant experiments, soil microbiome...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, provides $273,043 in funding to North Carolina State University to conduct collaborative research on the interactions between wildfire and disease disturbances and their impact on coastal forest ecosystems. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year project include: 1) quantifying the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland transitions to repeated fire and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award to the CAL Poly Corporation, a non-profit auxiliary serving California Polytechnic State University, provides $280,817 from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 to conduct collaborative research on how interactions between wildfires and an emerging plant disease may shift coastal forests to shrublands in the western United States. The research aims to: 1) quantify the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $1,031,339 to the University of Washington will fund research to study how disturbances and heterogeneity in temperate maritime forests of the U.S. Pacific Northwest affect ecosystem resilience to increasing wildfire activity driven by climate change. The project will integrate remotely sensed data on forest structure and wildfire patterns with new field measurements to test hypotheses on...
This $297,813 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research by Boise State University to advance the predictive understanding of wildfire ignitions in the western United States. The project aims to: Analyze the relationships between various biophysical, social, and management factors associated with different wildfire ignition causes across the western states. This will illuminate similarities, differences,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,275,000 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to study the shift from grasslands to shrublands in drylands of the Southwestern United States. The overarching goals are to: Advance understanding of how weather, land management, erosion, and ecosystem interactions influence the transition from grasslands to shrublands; Examine the impacts on carbon, nutrient, and water cycles; and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $146,766 to Boise State University to conduct research on understanding vulnerability to wildland fire. The project aims to: (1) analyze patterns of wildland fire impact vulnerability on a national scale, (2) evaluate perceptions and experiences of affected communities regarding wildland fire impacts and adaptation strategies, and (3) explore ways...
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 novel...
