Alan Townsend wins NSF grant to study nitrogen in the biosphere
Alan Townsend and CoPI Eric Davidson (Woods Hole Res Ctr) have just learned that their NSF-RCN "Reactive Nitrogen in the Biosphere" has been funded ($499,791). The grant will focus on key unknowns in changing N cycle, concentrating on the U.S., and provides one source of funding to help launch a U.S.- scale assessment of the changing nitrogen cycle, its impacts, and some potential solutions. This effort is tied to OSTP's national assessment procedure that was mandated as part of the US global change research act of 1992.
Congratulations Alan!!
