This grant, offered by the U.S. Geological Survey Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC), is for establishing a research program focused on biocrust communities within Arizona’s National Park Service lands. The primary purpose is two-fold: first, to thoroughly assess the existing biocrust communities and their ecological functions specifically within Casa Grande Ruins National Monument. Second, the grant aims to identify and determine the most effective restoration methodologies and tools for rapidly re-establishing biocrust communities and their crucial functions across multiple Arizona National Park Service sites. These sites include Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, and Tonto National Monument, ensuring a broad impact on ecological restoration efforts in these protected areas.
