A Research Greenhouse for the Bodega Marine Laboratory and Reserve

彼得·康纳斯博士是博德加海洋实验室的储备经理，该实验室由加州大学戴维斯分校运营，是加州大学储备系统的一部分。康纳斯博士建议建造一个研究温室，专门研究陆地植物和沿海梯田的植物/昆虫相互作用。访问调查人员已经使用了两个小型临时温室，但预计的需求很快就会饱和可用的空间。此外，最近聘用的一名教员正在进行一项需要温室空间的研究项目。为博德加海洋实验室计划的温室是该实验室研究影响的创造性扩展。温室将吸引越来越多的来访科学家和学生，并将拓宽实验室研究的自然现象的范围。由此产生的对沿海植物及其相关昆虫的研究将为海洋边缘地带的生态和管理提供重要的新见解。

Dr. Peter Connors is the Reserve Manager of the Bodega Marine Laboratory, which is operated by the University of California at Davis and is a part of the University of California Reserve System. Dr. Connors proposes construction of a research greenhouse, to be dedicated to research on terrestrial plants and plant/insect interactions of the coastal terrace. Two small temporary greenhouses have been used by visiting investigators but the projected needs will soon saturate the space available. In addition, a recently hired faculty member has an active research program that requires greenhouse space. The greenhouse planned for the Bodega Marine Laboratory is a creative expansion of the Lab's research impact. The greenhouse will attract an increasing number of visiting scientists and students, and will broaden the range of natural phenomena studied at the Lab. The resulting studies of coastal plants and their associated insects will provide important new insights into the ecology and management of the ocean margin zone.
