This grant from the US Geological Survey seeks a CESU partner for research on climate-driven disturbance’s role in vegetation changes to oak shrub dominance in southwestern US. The study focuses on understanding the impact of fire and other variables on Quercus gambelii’s presence in the region. Applicants will analyze digital maps of oak woodlands across Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Utah and Colorado. The project aims to gain insights into historical and current factors influencing oak shrublands’ distribution over centuries. Closing date for applications is Jul 01, 2013.

| Agency Name:: | Geological Survey |
| Description:: | US Geological survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to for research to determine the role of climate-driven disturbance (e.g., fire) in driving vegetation type-conversions to oak shrub dominance in former woodland, pine forest, and mixed conifer forest types in the Southwest US (Arizona, New Mexico, and adjoining portions of southern Utah and Colorado). The primary research objective is to determine the degree to which fire alone, or other variables (e.g., topographic position, geologic substrate, regional climate, regional vegetation gradients, etc.), explain the regional-scale presence and variability of large (> 100 ha) patches of Quercus gambelii. This research must work with digital distribution maps of oak woodlands across the Southwest US. Additionally, this project aims to develop insights into past and present process drivers of changes in the distribution of oak shrublands at centennial to millennial time scales. |
