The U.S. Geological Survey Southwest Biological Science Center (USGS SBSC) is offering financial assistance through this grant to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Partner. This grant is for the purpose of establishing a comprehensive program focused on critical arid land reclamation challenges. It aims to advance our understanding of the biotic and abiotic constraints impacting reclamation success, enhance post-reclamation monitoring programs, and identify effective management practices that promote long-term ecological recovery. This initiative addresses significant scientific needs related to managing surface disturbances, such as those from oil and gas development and other land-altering activities in arid landscapes.
