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 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)...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $410,292 three-year Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York at the University at Albany to support collaborative research exploring the dynamic interaction between pyrogenic carbon and extracellular enzymes and its impacts on organic matter cycling in fire-impacted environments. The grant is part of the Geosciences program, which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth,...
This two-year, $180,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds research into the impacts of forest fires on soil carbon biogeochemistry and the forest carbon cycle under a changing climate. Dr. Fettrow of Ardmore, Pennsylvania will investigate how forest fires alter belowground soil carbon levels and biogeochemistry. The researcher will determine the magnitude of soil carbon loss during fires and how post-fire soils and carbon storage are changed. Integrated laboratory and field...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $399,984 to the University of Wisconsin-River Falls (UW-River Falls) seeks to study the cycling and transport of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in agricultural soils. The two-year project, titled "EMBRACE-EAR-GROWTH: Coupling In-Situ Probing and Modeling Moisture-Related Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling and Transport", aims to: Decipher redox-related soil C and N cycling, mobilization,...
This $923,715 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports an interdisciplinary research project at Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a component of the Texas A&M University System. The project aims to improve understanding of how water, carbon, and nitrogen cycling in soils is influenced by soil properties and soil moisture at local to landscape scales. The research will involve field sampling, controlled laboratory experiments, and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $305,824 to Oregon State University supports research to investigate how changes in land cover and climate are impacting water and carbon cycles in grasslands. The key activities include: Quantifying how woody encroachment alters soil water flow and groundwater dynamics in the Konza Prairie research site in Kansas. Measuring the impact of woody encroachment on carbon processes like respiration and...
This $371,175 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The goal of this collaborative research project is to develop a functional model for predicting soil organic matter composition and cycling at the continental scale. Researchers from the University of Georgia Research Foundation will leverage existing data and new samples from the National Ecological Observatory...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $180,000 to conduct research on wildfire-generated nanoparticles and their impact on human health and the environment. The research aims to: 1) determine how temperature, composition of combustible materials, and soil composition influence the metal chemistry of fine particulate matter; 2) identify the mineralogy, metal associations, and morphology of these particles; and 3) examine how...
