Opportunity Information: Apply for R12AC30018
The grant opportunity titled "A Seed Bank Study at the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge" focuses on a collaborative project between the Bureau of Reclamation and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. This initiative aims to enhance habitat and population studies for species under the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program.
The project consists of two main tasks:
1. **Seed Bank Study**: This task involves testing the impact of tilling and watering cycles on the seed bank, specifically to see if these cycles help reduce weed species. The field will undergo multiple cycles of tilling and watering to observe changes in the seed bank. Soil samples will be collected before each cycle to compare the outcomes of treated areas against those that receive no treatment. The goal is to determine if repeated clearing of the seed bank improves the success of establishing native grasses and forbs.
2. **Native Plant Establishment Techniques**: This task aims to develop effective strategies for establishing native grasses and forbs while minimizing the growth of invasive species. Following the seed bank study, activities will take place in a UNLV greenhouse, where soil samples will be germinated, and plants will be monitored. Enhancements to this task include three phases: - **Phase 1**: Experimental seeding of various native grass and forb species. - **Phase 2**: Gathering and categorizing local native seeds for future restoration projects. - **Phase 3**: Exploring effective planting methods to improve the survival of native species while testing various weed control techniques.
Overall, this study seeks to contribute significant findings that could support broader conservation efforts and enhance native plant restoration in the region.Apply for R12AC30018
