Description

The Terrestrial Ecosystem Science (TES) program in the Climate and Environmental Sciences Division (CESD), Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), announces its interest in receiving research applications seeking to improve the understanding and representation of terrestrial ecosystems in ways that advance Earth system model parameterizations and capabilities. This FOA will consider applications that utilize and couple measurements, experiments, modeling and/or synthesis of terrestrial ecosystems across a continuum from the subsurface to the top of the vegetated canopy and from molecular to global scales. TES hereby announces its interest in grant applications that advance the understanding and predictive representation of terrestrial ecosystem in the following areas:

 

1)    Interactions and feedbacks between aboveground and belowground processes: Improved understanding of the interactions and feedbacks among key above and below-ground ecological and biogeochemical components/processes that span the functional soil-microbe-plant-atmosphere continuum, that in turn enables robust process level understanding and improved Earth system projections across scales, and;

 

2)    The role of disturbance at the terrestrial-aquatic interface:  New or improved understanding of the vegetative and/or coupled biogeochemical processes at the coastal terrestrial-aquatic interface that are influenced by extreme or compounding disturbances which have the potential for direct feedbacks to the Earth system.

 

Cost sharing is not required.
