Greenhouse Facility at University of Michigan Biological Station

该项目将向密歇根大学生物站提供部分资金，用于建造一个现代化的研究温室，以促进对植物、昆虫以及植物和昆虫之间相互作用的研究。空间站目前缺乏温室，严重阻碍了科学家对植物和昆虫进行实验研究的能力。温室将允许在植物遗传学、植物生态学、林业、昆虫行为、昆虫生态学和植物-昆虫相互作用等主题领域进行实验研究。温室将很好地补充生物站现有的实地研究和现代研究实验室设施的绝佳机会。

This project will provide partial funding to the University of Michigan Biological Station for construction of a modern research greenhouse to facilitate research on plants, insects and the interactions between plants, and insects. The current lack of a greenhouse at the Station seriously impedes the ability of scientists to conduct experimental studies on plants and insects. The greenhouse will permit experimental studies to be conducted in the subject areas of plant genetics, plant ecology, forestry, insect behavior, insect ecology and plant-insect interactions. The greenhouse will complement very well the excellent opportunities for field studies and the modern research laboratory facilities that already exist at the Biological Station.
