This grant, offered by the U.S. Geological Survey Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC), aims to advance ecological understanding and restoration efforts for pinyon-juniper ecosystems in Mesa Verde National Park. The funding is specifically for building a program to investigate how fire impacts the regeneration of these ecosystems. This will involve utilizing genetic soil mycorrhizal approaches to determine the effects of fire on pinyon-juniper recovery. Furthermore, the grant supports the development and testing of novel soil mycorrhizal restoration tools. These tools will be crucial for exploring new restoration options, ultimately seeking to enhance pinyon-juniper recruitment and successful planting following wildfire events within the park.
