This $107,197 award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a project by North Dakota State University (NDSU) to investigate the impact of wildfires on soil microbial communities and agricultural recovery in western North Dakota. The two-year project (March 2025 to February 2026) will track microbial composition, functional genetic activity, and soil toxicity across agricultural, rangeland, and unmanaged ecosystems affected by a major...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $249,994 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to quantify plant mediation of ecosystem multifunction in response to fire and warming from August 1, 2022 to February 28, 2026. The University will examine how fire severity and experimental warming interact to shape plant traits, communities, and multiple ecosystem functions such as decomposition and productivity in ponderosa pine...
The University of Arizona, through an award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), is conducting a $198,987 planning project titled "PLANNING: FIRE-PLAN: WILDFIRE-RESILIENT ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES: AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM." The project aims to (1) identify areas of highest vulnerability to rapid ecological change due to climate change and wildfires, and (2) engage with diverse...
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 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...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $345,312 to the University of Arizona, was granted on June 15, 2024 to support a research project that will investigate the diversity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria and other microbes associating with plant roots across the North American continent. The project will leverage NSF-sponsored ecological monitoring resources through the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to sample the...
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) awarded a $202,001 project grant on May 1, 2025 to Northern Arizona University (NAU) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The grant supports collaborative research to integrate plant-soil feedbacks with resilience theory for pinon woodlands under severe drought. The key products and services delivered through this award include: Conducting field inoculations and laboratory assays to determine the degree to which recovery of pinon pine...
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...
