This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $202,001 to Northern Arizona University (NAU) supports collaborative research on the integration of plant-soil feedbacks with resilience theory for pinon woodlands under drought. The key objectives are to:
Determine the degree to which recovery of pinon pine seedlings in drought-affected areas hinges on beneficial soil microbes, particularly ectomycorrhizal fungi, through field...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $209,173 to the University of New Mexico from July 2024 to June 2027 to conduct collaborative research on the role of soil microbes in improving dryland resistance to climate change.
The key objectives of this research project are to: 1) characterize the climate resistance of common dryland microbial species, 2) discover how to assemble microbial communities that maximize...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $188,491 Project Grant under CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to conduct research on the interactions between host plants and their microbial symbionts. The project seeks to understand how these host-microbe symbioses fluctuate over time and influence the health and stability of host plant populations. Leveraging a 15-year longitudinal dataset on cool-season grasses, the research team will develop stochastic...
This five-year $388,199 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will allow researchers at the University of New Mexico to continue long-term experiments assessing the impacts of changes in rainfall amount, timing, and variability on plant and soil biodiversity, productivity, and carbon sequestration in Chihuahuan desert and Great Plains grassland ecosystems. The experiments aim to study how shifts in dominant plant species driven by...
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) awarded a $178,508 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (IA) program to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The award, effective July 15, 2024 through June 30, 2027, supports collaborative research to investigate how soil microbes can maximize dryland resistance to climate change in the Chihuahuan Desert region of New Mexico.
The research activities involve...
This $670,495 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research into drought and cold resistance in Northeastern U.S. tree species. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of New Hampshire will lead a collaborative effort to investigate how Northeastern tree species respond to drought and how those adaptations impact vulnerability to other climate stressors like extreme cold. The research team will conduct extensive field measurements of drought-related...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $533,020 to Florida Atlantic University to conduct research aimed at understanding how soil microbes can help drylands resist the impacts of climate change. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include:
Characterizing the heat and drought resistance of 30 species of cyanobacteria and fungi commonly found in dryland soils. This will build the first...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $472,614 to Cornell University from July 2022 through June 2026 to study the impacts of severe drought on tropical forest post-disturbance recovery. Specifically, the researchers are conducting a rainfall manipulation experiment in a forest in Puerto Rico that is recovering from Hurricane Maria in 2017. The project aims to characterize and predict forest resilience to climate change by...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $838,678 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms of functional diversity maintenance in tree-ectomycorrhizal mutualisms. The project, which runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2027, will test the hypothesis that trees maintain a diverse portfolio of fungal partners as a form of "bet-hedging" to adapt to environmental...
