This funding opportunity, offered by the US Geological Survey, Fort Collins Science Center, seeks research to investigate the relationship between atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition and vegetation diversity across the United States. The core hypothesis is that plant diversity and richness decline with increased N deposition. Researchers will utilize existing plant diversity datasets along known N deposition gradients to test this. Specific objectives include gathering, analyzing, and assessing empirical data; identifying target areas for further analysis; addressing co-varying factors through statistical methods or comparisons with fertilizer experiments; performing statistical analysis and meta-analysis; and contributing to revisions of critical loads for N deposition impacts on terrestrial biodiversity. This initiative aims to enhance understanding of ecological responses to nitrogen pollution.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey, Fort Collins Science Center is officer a funding opportunity to conduct research to ask whether (and where in the US) there is a relationship between atmospheric N deposition and vegetation diversity. Available plant diversity (richness plus abundance) data sets along known N deposition gradients will be used to test the hypothesis that diversity and richness decline with increasing N deposition. Specifically, objectives include gather, analyze and assess the existing empirical data on patterns of terrestrial plant diversity across modeled N deposition gradients in the US, identify target areas for supplemental analyses and data collection, determine how to handle factors that co-vary across gradients (e.g., by comparing gradient responses with fertilizer experiments where available, or multivariate statistical approaches), perform statistics and meta-analysis, and consider revisions to estimates of critical loads (CL) for N deposition impacts to terrestrial biodiversity. |
