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...
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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $392,802 will fund research from March 2022 through February 2025 to quantify relationships between topography, soil properties, and soil organic carbon in fire-prone landscapes in Oregon. The awardee, University of Oregon, will collect data on the extent, depth, and age of soil organic carbon at recently burned mountainous study sites in southwest Oregon. The research aims to inform soil management and carbon sequestration efforts by examining...
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 $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...
