This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program will support research by Dr. Rachel Keen at Oregon State University to study the impacts of woody plant encroachment on soil hydrological processes in savanna ecosystems. The $180,000 award, running from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2027, will quantify changes in rooting distributions, soil structure, seasonal soil moisture, and groundwater recharge resulting from the spread of trees into historically...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to The Pennsylvania State University, aims to investigate how concurrent changes in climate and land cover impact below-ground water and carbon cycle processes in a Kansas grassland. The $100,000 award, effective from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027, will enable the research team to: 1) quantify how woody encroachment alters soil water flow and groundwater residence times; 2) measure the impact of woody...
This $100,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at Kansas State University (KSU) to study how changes in land cover and climate impact water and carbon cycling in grasslands. The project will quantify the effects of woody encroachment on soil hydrology and groundwater processes, as well as measure changes in belowground carbon dynamics in a Kansas grassland ecosystem. By integrating new...
The National Science Foundation awarded Oregon State University a $268,335 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research titled "SITS: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SOILS ARE SIGNALING SHIFTS IN AGGREGATE LIFE-CYCLES: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR WATER, CARBON AND CLIMATE FEEDBACKS IN THE ANTHROPOCENE?" from January 15, 2021 through December 31, 2024. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $829,191 to Oregon State University to conduct research aimed at understanding how wildfires affect water resources in the Pacific Northwest. The project will investigate the impacts of varying wildfire intensity and soil conditions on snow accumulation, melt, and underground water storage in the Willamette National Forest. Key activities include snow surveys, geophysical measurements, soil...
This $398,984 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to quantify the biophysical, physiological, and phenological impacts of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on vegetation and their effects on future climate change. The research utilizes the Community Earth System Model to examine the direct impacts of CO2 fertilization and stomatal closure, as well as the indirect effects of a longer growing season, on...
