This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research investigating the relationship between plant-soil feedbacks and ecosystem resilience in piñon-juniper woodlands under drought conditions. The $706,641 award to the University of New Mexico will fund field inoculations, laboratory experiments, and greenhouse studies to determine how specialist soil microbes, particularly ectomycorrhizal fungi, impact the...
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...
This $490,526 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant supports research at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) focused on understanding how the interactions between trees and soil fungi help trees adapt to changing environments. Key activities under the grant include greenhouse experiments, mathematical modeling, and field surveys to investigate the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining priority effects within and between fungal symbiont guilds associated with a native grass species, Schizachyrium scoparium.
