This $178,508 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program supports collaborative research to investigate how soil microbes in dryland ecosystems can maximize resistance to climate change impacts. The project, titled "ORCC: From Organisms to Ecosystems: Can Soil Microbes Maximize Dryland Resistance to Climate Disruption?", aims to characterize the climate resistance of common dryland microbe species, discover how to assemble...
This Project Grant award of $533,020 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project between ecologists and microbiologists at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) to study the role of soil microbes in improving the resistance of drylands to climate change-driven soil degradation. The key research activities include: 1) characterizing the heat and drought resistance of common dryland microbe species, 2) discovering how to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $771,664 project grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Inc. This 3-year grant, commencing on August 1, 2024, will support research to examine how abiotic stressors such as temperature, dryness, and microclimate variability within forest ecosystems influence microbial community assembly across vertical gradients. Key activities under this grant include: (1) multi-omic...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $183,600 Project Grant to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to study how climate change affects soil fungi. The 3-year grant, which runs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, supports research to develop a trait-based framework for understanding and predicting fungal community responses to global change drivers. The project has three main objectives: 1) create a trait-based framework using advanced...
This $763,538 federal Project Grant was awarded to the University of Chicago on July 15, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The project aims to understand the mechanistic basis of functional robustness in the soil microbiome, connecting detailed microbial processes to broader ecological and environmental outcomes like soil fertility and greenhouse gas emissions. The research objectives include elucidating how soil microbiomes respond to...
This $846,562 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program supports research at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to assess the impacts of climate change and land use on soil microbiomes, carbon storage, and plant productivity in the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. The 3-year study will use novel microbiome analyses and greenhouse experiments to quantify the genomic and...
This two-year, $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the role of subsurface microbial communities in biogeochemical cycling and carbon storage across spatial and temporal scales in the United States and Puerto Rico. Dr. Dawson Fairbanks of the University of California-Riverside will explore how soil microbial diversity and functionality respond to changing environmental conditions from the micro to continental...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $414,955 to Lehigh University to conduct research exploring the vertical gradient of microbial communities in tropical forest ecosystems. The key objectives are to: Characterize the functional and taxonomic diversity of soil microbiomes along the vertical forest gradient using multi-omic techniques. Assess the dispersal of microbial communities via air, water, and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $706,641 to the University of New Mexico to conduct collaborative research on integrating plant-soil feedbacks with resilience theory for pinon woodlands under drought. The key products and services to be delivered under this 4-year award (May 2025 - April 2029) include: Conducting field inoculations and laboratory assays to determine the degree to which recovery of pinon pine...
This $1,275,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports advanced research at New Mexico State University (NMSU) to study the shift from grasslands to shrublands in drylands of the Southwestern United States. The 6-year project, entitled "LTER: ADVANCING ECOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF DRYLANDS THROUGH INTEGRATED RESEARCH AT THE JORNADA BASIN (JRN-8)," aims to further understand the drivers, impacts, and dynamics of...
