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 $365,455 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Boise State University to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of wildfire and plant disease disturbances on forest-to-shrubland transitions. The 3-year project, starting on September 1, 2024, will: 1) quantify the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland transitions to repeated fire and disease disturbances; 2) identify biogeochemical and disturbance-related feedbacks...
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 Project Grant award of $306,789.00 from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) supports collaborative research by the University of Nevada, Reno to investigate the impacts of drought and fire on tree species in western U.S. forests. The key products and services to be delivered under this 4-year award, which runs from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029, include: Quantifying the adaptive traits of over 100 tree species in the western U.S. that help them tolerate drought...
This $228,825 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Duke University to investigate the effects of fire disturbance and climate change on biodiversity in fire-prone ecosystems, particularly longleaf pine savannas. The project will test how fire frequency impacts species diversity, and how these effects may change under future climate conditions. Key activities include developing a predictive model to...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $1,155,271 CAREER grant to the University of Washington to study the mechanisms of ecological and fire regime change in temperate maritime forests in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The project will integrate remotely sensed data and field measurements to investigate how disturbance and forest ecosystem structure interact to affect ecological resilience, with the goal of improving forecasting of forest ecosystem fate in an era of warming...
This $311,397 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to integrate mathematical models and microcosm experiments to understand the effects of disturbances, such as fire, drought, and flooding, on community interactions in biological systems. The key objectives of the 3-year project (Aug 2024 - Jul 2027) are to: 1) Determine the differential impacts of pulse (short-term) versus press (long-term)...
This $642,666 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will fund research into fire-biotic disturbance interactions and their sensitivity to climate change in the North American boreal biome. The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Inc. will use computer simulations to better understand the impacts and threats of new pests, herbivores, and diseases in Alaskan boreal forests, and how these disturbances may interact with fire and climate to alter carbon storage. The...
This Project Grant award of $107,197 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a rapid investigation into the impact of wildfires on soil microbial communities and agricultural recovery in western North Dakota. The research team at North Dakota State University will study shifts in microbial composition, functional genetic activity, and soil toxicity across agricultural, rangeland, and unmanaged ecosystems affected by a major wildfire event in...
