- This National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $127,687 to Warren Wilson College to conduct collaborative research on the role of plant-associated microbes in forest ecosystems from November 2022 to May 2025. The research will explore how tree diversity influences leaf and root microbiome communities, leaf chemistry, insect populations, and ultimately tree productivity. Researchers will leverage a 32-acre tree biodiversity experiment in...
- The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a $171,561 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems to conduct research on how trees invest in chemical defenses across a gradient of physiological drought stress. The grant was awarded on April 1, 2021 with a completion date of November 30, 2021. The research funded under this award will provide insights into how trees live within carbon and water budgets, and adapt chemical defenses in...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $469,943 collaborative research project grant to the University of Oregon to investigate the effects of global change agents on tree reproduction across the North American boreal forest. The 4-year project, with an award date of August 15, 2025 and ultimate completion date of July 31, 2029, will study how factors like CO2 levels, temperature, water availability, nitrogen deposition, and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded the University of Wisconsin System a $345,312 project grant on June 15, 2025 to assess the drivers of the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between plants and bacteria across North America. The project will investigate the diversity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria and other microbes associating with plant roots using data from the NSF-sponsored National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). Researchers...
- 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...
- The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a $970,143 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to conduct research on restoring soil biodiversity and ecosystem function following agricultural legacies. This multi-year project, running from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2030, aims to fill gaps in the understanding of how soil ecosystems recover when lands are retired from agriculture or when trees are planted...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The $270,000 award will fund research and training to examine how soil microbiota associated with dead trees influences the assembly and biodiversity of the next generation of trees in northern temperate forests. The research aims to quantify the specificity of soil legacies, the temporal dynamics of mutualistic...
