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...
The University of New Mexico was awarded a $307,495 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: UNDERSTANDING SPATIOTEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF PLANT-SOIL FEEDBACKS: CONSEQUENCES FOR SHRUB-GRASS INTERACTIONS IN A DRYLAND ECOTONE" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The four-year award beginning June 1, 2021 will fund research to increase scientific understanding of major problems...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $950,580 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) under the Biological Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant funds a study titled "Coupling Biocrusts and Vegetation Dynamics to Improve Predictions of Dryland Change" from October 2023 to September 2027. The project aims to develop new theories and models that integrate the interactions between biological soil crusts...
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...
The University of New Mexico was awarded a $113,228 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research evaluating the origins of multidecadal variability in late Holocene Indian summer monsoon rainfall in Nepal. The three-year award, issued on June 1, 2021 with a completion date of May 31, 2024, will support collaborative research between the University of New Mexico and researchers in Nepal to strengthen understanding of the...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to the University of New Mexico, is supporting a long-term study on the symbiotic relationship between grasses and their fungal microbes. The $188,491 grant, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029, is testing the hypothesis that the effects of microbial symbionts on their host plants fluctuate annually, providing beneficial impacts in stressful years but neutral or costly effects in...
