This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This project will examine how the interaction of climate, the physical and chemical characteristics of the bedrock, and the action of vegetation, control the movement and storage of water and carbon on Earth’s surface. These processes in turn influence climate by altering important factors such as greenhouse gas concentrations like H2O and CO2. Human activities can change these pathways, and this research will enable the forecasting of the possible impacts upon the Earth-surface environment. To achieve this goal requires synthesizing existing datasets, collecting new data, and training teams of people in the fields of water science, geochemistry, soil science, geophysics, ecology, and Earth system modeling. The project will include 28 undergraduate students, four graduate students, and three postdoctoral scholars across seven universities to collectively explore how the interaction of plant roots and bedrock regulate water and carbon movement between the land and atmosphere. The project will also train 45 educators to develop discovery-based learning approaches in their classes, the products of which will be publicly accessible on available web platforms.This project will investigate when and to what degree bedrock exerts more control than roots on water and carbon fluxes. Using an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates new data collection, data harvesting, machine learning, and numerical modeling, this research will determine the mechanisms by which bedrock and fracture distributions govern the development of preferential flow paths. It will also examine depth, degree, and timing of coupling between the subsurface and atmosphere and its impact on water storage and fluxes. The project will explore how plant roots interact with bedrock to shape the subsurface structure, associated carbon storage, and transpiration rates. Methods will include 3D geophysical surveys and structural soil pore analyses to determine the occurrence of changes in the subsurface and how they govern root water uptake. Global in situ and remotely sensed data will be integrated via machine learning to discern emergent patterns in subsurface structure on larger scales. The project will leverage existing datasets and collect new data from the NSF Critical Zone Cluster Networks (CZCNs), National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), and Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) programs. The ultimate outcome will be a comprehensive framework of hydro-biogeochemical linkages to forecast how climatic conditions and subsurface structure regulate hydrological flow and the carbon cycle.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》的全部或部分资助（公法117-2）。该项目将研究气候的相互作用，基岩的物理和化学特征以及植被的作用，控制水和碳在地球表面的运动和存储。这些过程又通过改变重要因素（例如H2O和CO2）来影响气候。人类的活动可以改变这些途径，这项研究将使可能对地面环境产生影响的预测。为了实现这一目标，需要综合现有数据集，收集新数据以及培训水科学，地球化学，土壤科学，地球物理学，生态学和地球系统建模领域的人。该项目将包括28名本科生，四名研究生以及七所大学的三名博士后学者，以共同探索植物根与基岩的相互作用如何调节土地和气氛之间的水和碳流动。该项目还将培训45名教育工作者在其课程中开发基于发现的学习方法，其产品将在可用的Web平台上公开访问。该项目将调查何时何何时以及在何种程度上对水和碳通量的根源更具控制性。使用跨学科的方法，该方法结合了新的数据收集，数据收集，机器学习和数值建模，这项研究将确定基岩和断裂分布控制首选流动路径的发展的机制。它还将检查地下和大气之间的耦合的深度，程度和时机及其对储水和通量的影响。该项目将探讨植物根部如何与基岩相互作用，以塑造地下结构，相关的碳储存率和蒸腾率。方法将包括3D地球物理调查和结构性土壤孔分析，以确定地下发生变化以及它们如何控制根水的摄取。全局原位和远程感知的数据将通过机器学习集成，以在较大尺度上辨别地下结构中的新兴模式。该项目将利用现有数据集并从NSF关键区域集群网络（CZCN），国家生态观测网络（NEON）和长期生态研究（LTER）计划中收集新数据。最终的结果将是水力生物地球化学与预测的全面框架，即气候条件和地下结构如何调节水文流和碳周期。这奖反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估来审查审查标准来通过评估来获得的支持。
