This Project Grant award of $1,275,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a research project titled "LTER: ENVIRONMENTAL DRIVERS AND ECOSYSTEM STATE CHANGE IN A COASTAL BARRIER LANDSCAPE" at the University of Virginia. The project uses long-term ecological data to predict how coastlines will change in response to environmental threats such as sea-level rise, warming temperatures, and extreme weather. Key activities include...
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. was awarded a $630,572 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." The award, made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research from June 2021 through May 2025 aimed at increasing scientific...
This three-year, $370,330 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports characterizing rhizosphere decomposition through novel techniques in contrasting salt marshes. The University of Georgia Research Foundation will employ methods to advance understanding of major problems in the biological sciences, such as decomposing plant material and nutrient cycling near root zones. Work will take place in Athens, Georgia from December 2021...
This $1,275,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the Sevilleta Long Term Ecological Research (SEV LTER) program at the University of New Mexico. The SEV LTER program investigates how changes in the mean and variability of environmental conditions, particularly water resources, affect the dynamics of dryland ecosystems and transitions between them. Key research activities include long-term monitoring, field...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $600,000 project grant to the Smithsonian Institution Office of Sponsored Projects to support research titled "LTREB: THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OF TIDAL MARSH RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE." The award period is from March 15, 2021 through February 28, 2026. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the grantee will analyze 34 years of tidal marsh data to strengthen understanding of how coastal wetlands...
This Project Grant award of $599,999.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports long-term research on salt marsh primary production in North Inlet, South Carolina. The research, which has been ongoing since 1984, aims to provide fundamental insights into how salt marshes form, change over time, and support other life. The project will test three new hypotheses related to marsh elevation regulation, surface elevation change, and mineral...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $200,249 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The funding will support the development of a new seafloor sensor/sampler array and advanced control systems to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary...
This Project Grant award for $1,275,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) for the "LTER: ADVANCING ECOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF DRYLANDS THROUGH INTEGRATED RESEARCH AT THE JORNADA BASIN (JRN-8)" project. The funding will support research aimed at understanding why and how grasslands in low rainfall areas are shifting to shrub and bare ground in the southwestern United States. Key...
This Project Grant award of $1,275,001 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research on kelp forest ecosystems. The research, led by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), aims to advance the understanding of how natural disturbances, climate variation, and human actions affect the ecological structure and function of kelp forests. Key research components include investigating the processes maintaining biodiversity and...
