The US Geological Survey, Tennessee Water Science Center is offering this grant to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner for critical research focused on the impacts of climate change and invasive species on southeastern grasslands. This grant is specifically for conducting field experiments at tall-grass prairie sites. The research aims to thoroughly examine the interactive effects of warming and precipitation treatments alongside the invasive species *Lespedeza cuneata* on native plant communities. Findings from these crucial experiments will be published as one or more USGS data releases, complete with appropriate metadata, and will also contribute to scientific literature through journal papers, advancing our understanding of ecosystem resilience.
