The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Chesapeak Watershed CESU, is offering this grant to fund critical research for a comprehensive national assessment of ecosystem carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas fluxes. This grant is for research specifically focusing on current wildland fire regimes, analyzing their patterns and trends, and investigating how these characteristics relate to fire-induced greenhouse gas emissions. The primary goal is to gather information essential for a national understanding of these environmental processes. Anticipated products of this collaboration include detailed assessment reports and joint publications, aiming to advance scientific understanding of fire’s impact on carbon cycles and greenhouse gas levels.
