The USGS Canyonlands Research Station (CRS) of the Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is offering this grant to a CESU partner. This grant aims to continue vital research focused on monitoring the long-term effects of climate manipulations, specifically on biocrust organisms. These manipulations have been in place for seven years, and their impacts are only now becoming evident. Extending these treatments will allow more time for organisms to respond, providing deeper insights into observed changes. Furthermore, the research seeks to uncover the underlying mechanisms of biocrust mortality observed within the climate manipulation plots. Findings from this ongoing study are expected to significantly contribute to improving global climate models.

| Description: | The USGS Canyonlands Research Station (CRS) of the Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research that continues monitoring the effects of climate manipulations in place for seven years that are just beginning to manifest, especially in biocrust organisms. By continuing these treatments there is more time for the organisms to respond and therefore greater insight into observed changes. Also, further research can elucidate the mechanisms behind biocrust mortality observed in the climate manipulation plots and results from these plots could assist improving global climate models. |
