项目摘要

The Blandy Experimental Farm is a 700-acre field research station of the University of Virginia. It is comprised of a mosaic of old fields, woodlots, pasture, cropland, and at its center, the State Arboretum of Virginia. Research projects underway at the Farm focus on various aspects of the population and community ecology of plants and their insect and mammalian herbivores. While no agricultural research is conducted at the Farm, crop plants and their insect pests have been used to test hypotheses of general ecological importance. The Farm is well suited to support research examining patterns or processes at several spatial scales such as the movement of nutrients and organisms between different habitats or the interactions of individual plants or animals occurring at the level of the local neighborhood. The Farm is eminently suited for manipulative field experiments in old field or forest habitats, or in experimental plantings or gardens. This project will provide funds to make improvements to an existing greenhouse and to purchase two controlled environmental chambers. With the additional greenhouse space and controlled environment chambers on-site, Blandy Farm will be able to provide researchers with the facilities to perform experiments under three levels of environmental control: field, greenhouse, and growth chamber.

布兰迪实验农场是一个占地700英亩的实地研究弗吉尼亚大学的车站。它由一个马赛克的旧领域，林地，牧场，农田，并在其弗吉尼亚州立植物园（State Arboretum of Virginia）研究项目在农场进行的重点是人口的各个方面植物及其昆虫和哺乳动物群落生态学食草动物虽然没有进行农业研究，农场、农作物及其害虫已被用于测试具有普遍生态重要性的假设。农场很好适合于支持研究检查模式或过程. 几个空间尺度，如营养物质的运动，不同栖息地之间的生物或个体植物或动物发生在当地的水平小区农场非常适合操控在旧的田野或森林栖息地进行实地实验，或在实验性种植或花园。该项目将提供资金，以改善现有的温室，并购买两个控制环境钱伯斯随着额外的温室空间和控制现场环境室，布兰迪农场将能够提供研究人员与设施进行实验下，三级环境控制：田间、温室和生长室
