Third Cary Conference Comparative Analyses

项目摘要

The Institute of Ecosystem Studies (IES) will host an international conference on "Comparative analyses of ecosystems: patterns, mechanisms, and theories," on 20 April through 3 May, 1989. The subject of this conference will be quantitative analyses of important ecosystem phenomena across systems. The goals of the conference are: i) to encourage the application of comparative techniques to develop and test theories in ecosystem ecology, ii) to address methodological and philosophical difficulties in using a comparative approach, iii) to expose workers in one ecological subdiscipline to potentially useful ideas, data, and methods from other subdisciplines, and iv) to explore the potential and the limitations of cross- ecosystem comparisons. Approximately 45 ecologists from around the world will attend this conference. As in the previous two Cary Conferences, the emphasis of this meeting will be on discussion and critical examination of fundamental ideas in ecology. Speakers and other participants will be challenged to extend their thinking beyond the day-to-day limits of their own research fields. Such open and critical evaluation will help to stimulate the ecological community, and will encourage the integration of ideas and development of new research. The Ecosystem Studies Program recommends that an award be made in support of the third Cary Conference.

生态系统研究研究所（IES）将于1989年4月20日至5月3日举办一次国际“生态系统比较分析：模式，机制和理论的比较分析”。本次会议的主题将是对整个系统中重要生态系统现象的定量分析。会议的目标是：i）鼓励应用比较技术在生态系统生态学中开发和测试理论，ii）解决使用比较方法时解决方法论和哲学上的困难，iii），以一种生态学子病态的工人来探索潜在有用的思想，来自其他细胞学科的数据，以及探索潜在的crossiss和iviss的范围。来自世界各地的大约45位生态学家将参加这次会议。与前两个Cary会议一样，这次会议的重点将是对生态学基本思想的讨论和批判性研究。演讲者和其他参与者将受到挑战，将他们的思维扩展到自己研究领域的日常限制之外。这种开放和批判性的评估将有助于刺激生态界，并鼓励思想的整合和新研究的发展。生态系统研究计划建议为支持第三届Cary会议颁发裁决。
