This department is offering a grant to a CESU partner for a research project aiming to synthesize nitrogen fixation rates across terrestrial biomes globally. The analysis will focus on major nitrogen-fixing niches, develop nitrogen fixation maps for the U.S. and North America, and create tools for evaluating environmental controls of nitrogen fixation rates for mapping and modeling purposes. Deadline for application: Nov 21, 2018.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey, John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis, is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to develop a multi-scale synthesis of nitrogen fixation rates across the terrestrial biosphere. This analysis is expected to synthesize biological nitrogen fixation rates for the major Nâ¿fixing niches (trees, shrubs, herbs, lichens, cyanobacteria, mosses, liverworts, and freeâ¿living heterotrophic bacteria) across all terrestrial biomes globally, including agricultural systems; scale the quantity of symbiotic biological nitrogen fixation inputs associated with plants and lichens up to produce spatiallyâ¿resolved nitrogen fixation maps for the U.S. and North America; and develop prognostic tools for evaluating environmental controls of nicheâ¿specific terrestrial nitrogen fixation rates across biomes and the globe for mapping, management, and modeling. |
