US-Eastern Europe Cooperative Research on Plant Ecology and Water Resource Management (Poland and Czechoslovakia)

美国-捷克斯洛伐克在湿地植物生态和水资源管理方面的研究项目由威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的迈克尔·S·亚当斯博士、捷克斯洛伐克科学院特雷本分校植物研究所的简·克韦特博士、和波兰Mikolajke波兰科学院生态研究所的Tadeusz Traczyk博士。这两个地点的研究将集中在湿地植物莱瑟姆Salicaria的生态学上，并将阐明是什么因素使莱瑟姆成功入侵北美湿地，同时保持欧洲早期演替物种的地位。在特雷邦，其他努力将涉及生物标志，以期为制定新的管理做法做出潜在贡献，从而更好地保护捷克斯洛伐克的水资源。这一生物系统项目通过使美国和东欧的顶尖专家能够将互补的人才结合在一起，并在具有强烈共同兴趣和能力的领域汇集资源，从而实现了促进科学知识的计划目标。

This US-Czechoslovakia research project in wetland plant ecology and water resources management is between Dr. Michael S. Adams of the University of Wisconsin-Madison; Dr. Jan Kvet of the Botanical Institute, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences at Trebon, Czechoslovakia; and Dr. Tadeusz Traczyk of the Institute of Ecology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Mikolajke, Poland. Research at these two sites will focus on the ecology of the wetland plant Lythrum salicaria, and will illuminate what factors allow Lythrum to be a successful invader of North American wetlands while remaining an early successional species in Europe. At Trebon, other efforts will address bioindication for potential contribution to formulation of new management practices that could better protect Czechoslovakia's water resources. This project in biotic systems fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and pool resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
