Opportunity Information: Apply for L16AS00242
The BLM-MT Soil Moisture Monitoring grant opportunity aims to enhance Montana's real-time soil moisture monitoring network and integrate this data into a standardized database for public access. This initiative is prompted by significant climate changes in Montana over the last 55 years, including rising temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns, which have crucial implications for water resources and ecosystem health.
The project will prioritize identifying gaps in soil moisture data across the landscape, focusing on areas with high densities of BLM landownership. The successful recipient will establish monitoring stations that can transmit real-time data to the Montana Climate Office. Soil moisture measurements will primarily come from native plant rooting zones, with the possibility of incorporating additional sensors to support relevant objectives.
Key objectives include: 1) Collecting data to improve land management decisions in response to climate variability, benefiting activities like vegetation treatments and livestock grazing. 2) Integrating point-scale soil moisture measurements with broader datasets to enhance accuracy and reliability for drought and environmental management. 3) Collaborating with state and federal partners to create a standardized database for improved data collection and management.
Public benefits include better-informed land management practices, particularly for agriculture, and enhanced understanding of hydrologic changes due to climate impacts. The project ultimately supports research and adaptive management strategies essential for maintaining resource sustainability in the face of ongoing climate change.Apply for L16AS00242
