Resolving the Water Crisis in the Russian River Watershed, CA: Demonstrating how Grapegrowers can Monitor Streamflow and Implement Irrigation Water Management Plans to Benefit Listed Salmonids
California Land Stewardship Institute     |     CA     |     2010
The purpose of this award is for the grantee to demonstrate the use of technology new to grape growers within the Russian River watershed to lead to significant improvements in water management and produce benefits to multiple ecosystem services.
Integrating Management for Forest Health and Cavity-Nesting Bird Conservation in Ponderosa Pine Forests
American Bird Conservancy     |     OR     |     2010
The purpose of this award is for the grantee to implement innovative Habitat management activities for bird conservation within the context of standard management practices for forest health; and concurrently use outreach and educational activities to broadcast our concept to a regional governmental and private audience which will enhance both bird conservation and the participation in and delivery of NRCS programs to support ecological and economic goals in ponderosa pine Habitats on private lands.
Impact of Anaerobic Digestion on Air Quality in a Community Anaerobic Digester
Washington State University     |     WA     |     2010
The purpose of this award is for the grantee to evaluate, demonstrate, and document the impacts of anaerobic digestion on NH3 and H2S emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, odor emissions, in a communal anaerobic digester, and utilization of NH3-N for corn silage production.
Use of crop residue as biochar soil amendment to reduce greenhouse gas emission, enhance soil carbon sequestration, and improve water quality in sugarcane and rice production
Louisiana State University Agricultural Center     |     LA     |     2010
The purpose of this award is for the grantee to demonstrate the recycling of sugarcane and rice residue into biochar and document beneficial effect of biochar application to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance soil carbon sequestration, and improve water quality in sugarcane and rice production.
Precise nitrogen management for corn production: Mitigating environmental nitrogen losses and adapting to climate change
Cornell University     |     NY     |     2010
The purpose of this award is for the grantee to advance the adoption of adaptive nitrogen management practices in corn production in several states, and specifically to conduct an educational program on precise N management using the Adapt-N tool, targeting 500 growers in the Northeast and Midwest; modify the current Adapt-N tool for application to the Midwest U.S. and to include a cover crop input option; demonstrate the performance of the adaptive N management approach compared to conventional methods for N recommendations in strip trials over 2 growing seasons on 40 farms; and produce a next-generation Adapt-N tool for N management in corn production.
Promoting and Demonstrating the Utility of Native Warm Season Grass Based Biofuels and Field Margins for Pollinators, Birds, and Carbon Sequestration
Mississippi State University     |     MS     |     2010
The purpose of this award is for the grantee to demonstrate and promote the effectiveness of native warm season grass based biofuels as a positive influence on pollinator diversity and abundance; grassland bird abundance; and carbon sequestration in working landscapes.
