The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $299,998 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant supports the "Rapid Assessment of the Carbon Cycle Consequences of Ecosystem Disturbances" project under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The University of Wisconsin-Madison will deliver services to assess the impacts of ecosystem disturbances on the carbon cycle. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, with a total funding of $1,843,502, aims to assess the impact of increasing wildfire severity on the loss of permafrost carbon and carbon source-sink dynamics in boreal forest and Arctic tundra ecosystems. The research, funded under NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), seeks to integrate long-term field observations, novel radiocarbon dating methods, and earth system modeling to understand how wildfire-triggered loss of permafrost carbon...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a five-year, $1.76 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a framework for understanding soil bacterial ecology in wildland fires. Funded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the grant will support research from 2021-2026 to promote progress in understanding how soil microbes interact with and are impacted by wildfires. Specifically, the university will analyze soil bacterial communities before,...
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 Project Grant award of $107,197, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research at North Dakota State University to investigate the impact of wildfires on soil microbial communities and agricultural recovery in western North Dakota. The study aims to track microbial composition, functional genetic activity, and soil toxicity across agricultural, rangeland, and unmanaged ecosystems affected by the October 2024 wildfires. By...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $176,388 to Oregon State University (OSU) aims to quantify the production of pyrogenic carbon (charcoal) during wildfires in the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest region and examine how this altered carbon affects soil carbon cycling during ecosystem regeneration. The study will leverage a unique dataset on the 2023 Lookout Fire in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest to (i)...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $195,763 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Oregon State University (OSU) to investigate the ecosystem-level impacts of the 2023 Lookout Fire along Lookout Creek in Oregon. The research aims to understand changes in stream ecosystem structure and function, focusing on microbial decomposition, aquatic vertebrates, and riparian wildlife. Key activities include assessing microbial decomposition rates, conducting...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $383,716 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado to improve understanding and predictive modeling of soot formation in wildfires. The 3-year project under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will utilize advanced experimental techniques to investigate the chemical precursors and growth mechanisms for soot particles emitted from the pyrolysis and...
Colorado State University was awarded a $571,256 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research examining the role of soil microbiome resilience in ecosystem recovery following severe wildfires. As part of its mission to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's...
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...
