The University of Montana was awarded a $326,520 Project Grant from the Department of Energy Office of Science under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) to conduct research titled "Plant Carbohydrate Depletion, Mycorrhizal Networks, and Vulnerability to Drought: An Experimental Test in the Field" from August 2021 through August 2024. The grant funding will support experimental field research aimed at understanding how plant carbohydrate depletion and mycorrhizal fungal networks impact plant vulnerability to drought conditions. The research will be performed in Missoula, Montana and provides over $326K in funding for the University to analyze these important agricultural and ecological relationships over a three year period through field experiments.
