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)...
Oregon State University was awarded a $134,969 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology on September 15, 2021 to complete work by August 31, 2022. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the funding will...
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 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 two-year, $398,084 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of California, Davis to study the effects of mega-wildfires on lake ecosystems in Northern California. Specifically, the award supports examining whether fish populations are eradicated in some or all lakes following wildfires over 1 million acres in size, and whether fish removal changes trophic cascades within the food web. It also analyzes how trophic cascade strength may vary with ecosystem...
This $300,539 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Oregon State University to investigate the impacts of wildfire ash deposition on surface ocean biology and carbon/energy transfer. The key products and services to be delivered include: Mechanistic studies to quantify the physiological responses (e.g. growth, productivity, cellular stoichiometry) of phytoplankton and bacterioplankton to different types of wildfire...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,914 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Wisconsin (UW) System's UW-Madison campus on June 1, 2024. The grant supports a rapid response research project to study the effects of the 2023 wildfires in Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park on soil carbon cycling. Specifically, the researchers will collect pre- and post-wildfire soil samples to quantify carbon losses due to combustion versus...
This four-year, $212,466 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research exploring boreal forest fire feedbacks through multiple timescales. Colorado State University will investigate paleohistory of short-interval fires using lake sediment cores, conduct fieldwork on fire resilience, and use high-performance modeling to estimate future fire behavior. The research aims to determine if current short-interval fires are creating novel...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $198,362 RAPID grant to Oregon State University (OSU) under the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program. The grant, titled "RAPID: REIMAGINING A COLLABORATIVE FUTURE: ENGAGING COMMUNITY WITH THE ANDREWS FOREST RESEARCH PROGRAM," aims to: Facilitate local community public engagement with the scientific research community at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest in Oregon, which was significantly impacted by a major wildfire. Incorporate...
