DOE gives $47 million for core research

Article Abstract:

DOE funded its Environmental Management Science Program in Aug 1996 with 139 grants for basic research to be conducted at universities and government laboratories. DOE hopes the 3-year grants, ranging from $200,000 to $2.9 million, will engage the best scientists in solving environmental problems.

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that added nitrogen in a grassland ecosystem spurs the growth of weeds rather than native plants. In the long term this decreases climate benefits because the invasive species are less efficient at removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
