The U.S. Geological Survey’s Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystem Research Program is offering a grant through CESU for research on modeling biological control of invasive plants in southern Florida. This grant aims to develop simulation models to assist in controlling water hyacinth and Melaleuca tree species, which have significantly affected the environment. The research will support the Department of Agriculture’s efforts in invasive plant control. Application deadline: May 22, 2020.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The U. S. Geological Survey¿s Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystem Research Program is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in modeling the biological control of invasive plants as part of the Across Trophic Level System Situation (ATLSS) program. This is aimed at the sustainable control of two invasive plant species in southern Florida that have caused substantial harm to the environment; the water hyacinth ((Eichhornia crassipes) and the Melaleuca tree (Melaleuca quinquenervia). The request is for the development of simulation models that can be used in combination with ongoing experimental and field research by the Department of Agriculture¿s Invasive Plant Research Laboratory (IPRL). |
