This grant, offered by the US Geological Survey’s John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis, aims to evaluate how global land-use change, from past to future scenarios, influences the rates and spatial patterns of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) on Earth. The core objective is to fill a critical knowledge gap concerning land-use effects on terrestrial BNF distribution and its evolution over time. The work will combine models estimating global spatial BNF patterns with land-use and cover maps (10,000 BCE – 2015) and project trends to 2100, mapping how BNF rates and nitrogen inputs change with land-use intensification.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey, John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis, is offering a funding opportunity to evaluate how past, current, and future scenarios of global land-use change influence global rates and spatial patterns of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) rates on Earth This analysis will fill in a gap in knowledge of the global spatial distribution of land-use effects on terrestrial BNF, and how this has changed over time. Work is expected to combine models developed that estimate global spatial BNF patterns using land-use and cover global map products available from 10,000 BCE to 2015 and make projections into the future up to 2100. This work will map how BNF rates and overall N inputs would prevail both in the absence of land use, and their change through time per grid cell as land use has intensified. |
