- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $2,275,000 Project Grant to New Mexico State University to study the shift from grasslands to shrublands in drylands of the Southwestern U.S. The research aims to advance understanding of this ecological change, including how weather, land management, and biotic interactions influence the transition, and how it impacts carbon and nutrient cycling, soil erosion, and human wellbeing. The project will also...
- This $116,693 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to illuminate fundamental climate processes that influenced terrestrial ecology in western Pangea during Earth's previous icehouse period. Key goals combine paleontology, isotope geochemistry, and magnetostratigraphy to: identify the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in Utah's Cutler Group sedimentary rocks; determine the pace and...
- This $164,793 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program aims to discover microbial solutions that promote soil health in drylands under climate change. The research activities focus on characterizing the climate resistance of common dryland microbe species, assembling microbial communities that maximize resistance to heat and drought, and field-testing the application of climate-ready microbial assemblages to reverse long-term soil...
- This $398,984 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to quantify the biophysical, physiological, and phenological impacts of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on vegetation and their effects on future climate change. The research utilizes the Community Earth System Model to examine the direct impacts of CO2 fertilization and stomatal closure, as well as the indirect effects of a longer growing season, on...
- This $202,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project to reconstruct past variations in vapor pressure deficit (VPD) in the southwestern United States over the last 500 years. The project will use oxygen isotope measurements in tree rings to develop long-term VPD reconstructions, which will then be compared to climate model simulations to assess the drivers of VPD changes and determine if the recent VPD...
- This Project Grant award of $457,275.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project led by Northern Arizona University (NAU) to assess the ecoclimate sensitivity of major North American biome-scale ecotones since the last ice age. The project aims to precisely map past biome distributions and quantify how far these biomes moved in response to changes in temperature and rainfall patterns as the ice sheets melted...
- The University of Utah was awarded a two-year, $153,579 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research examining laminated soil carbonate rinds as indicators of late Quaternary climate-vegetation relationships. As described under the CFDA, the Geosciences program strengthens fundamental understanding of Earth's integrated systems through basic research in...
- 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 federal Project Grant award, valued at $219,167.00 and provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), aims to apply thermochronology techniques to quantify changes in erosion rates during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) climate event in the Tremp-Graus Basin, Spain. The research will provide insights into how Earth's landscapes and carbon cycling respond to past global warming, which is valuable for understanding current and future...
- This $706,641 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports collaborative research to investigate the role of plant-soil feedbacks in promoting the resilience of pinon woodlands in the western United States to severe drought conditions. The research involves field inoculations of pinon pine seedlings with beneficial soil microbes, laboratory assays, and greenhouse experiments to understand how plant-microbe...
