Joint Program on Terrestrial Ecology and Global Change Notice 97- 02

In concert with the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) and with the intent of enhancing interagency collaboration, the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announce their interest in receiving applications for support of grants that seek to augment research on terrestrial ecology as it relates to global environmental changes. This request for applications encourages multi-disciplinary applications involving companion experimental/ manipulative and modeling efforts to provide critically needed data and information for improved predictions of global change phenomena in three equally important areas: (1) the consequences of global-scale environmental changes on terrestrial ecosystems, (2) the role of terrestrial ecosystems as a source or sink of carbon dioxide and other trace gases, and (3) the interactions and feedback between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere and between linked ecosystems at watershed and landscape scales. This request for applications extends the research begun as
