NC CASC Scientists Awarded NPS Grasslands Resilience Project
Date
NC CASC scientists (Rangwala, Miller Hesed, and Clark-Wolf) have been awarded a project titled "Grassland Resilience in the Northern Great Plains under Climate Change" by the National Park Service to inform and improve adaptive management practices associated with conserving the prairie in the northern Great Plains region. This 4-year project will leverage NC CASC science efforts in the North Central Grasslands to evaluate and improve different adaptive management models and practices for controlling invasive species such as Annual Brome, Smooth Brome and Kentucky Bluegrass under a changing climate. The project will also hire a postdoc who will assist in the improvement and development of existing models and methodologies.
