The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering this grant to combat climate change by evaluating the carbon sequestration capability of dominant plants in the Lower Rio Grande Valley’s Tamaulipan brushlands. This grant is for a scientific contractor to acquire biological data and map the distribution of potential carbon amounts within refuge and adjacent brushland habitats. The mapping will utilize combined ecosystem process simulation with remote sensing data inputs. The project aims to provide solutions for climate change mitigation through understanding carbon storage in these vital ecosystems. Cooperators are required to contribute at least 50 percent of the total project cost, which can include labor, materials, equipment, land, water, or cash, ensuring non-federal origin for the contribution.
