Improvement Soil Ecosystem Analysis Laboratory

项目摘要

This project is providing equipment (Carbon/Hydrogen/Nitrogen analyzer and an autoanalyzer) necessary to complete a modern instrumental analysis laboratory for undergraduate studies of plants and soils, ecosystem dynamics, and environmental problems in the Department of Environmental Science at Allegheny College. This program was begun in 1985 with modernization of a course in Water Quality Analysis and with development of a Water Quality laboratory. The program has been furthered recently by creation of a new faculty position to provide expertise in ecosystem biogeochemistry and analytical analysis, and by introduction of two new courses, Soils and the Environment, and Biogeochemistry. Both courses involve field trips for investigation of ecological processes and sample collection, and laboratory exercises for sample preparation and instrumental analysis. An additional and extremely important component of this program is availability of instruments for use by students during senior comprehensive research projects, required of all students. Completion of this laboratory through acquisition of a CHN analyzer and an autoanalyzer is providing direct experience in the use of modern techniques and analytical instrumentation to perform process-level analyses of ecosystem and environmental dynamics. The grantee is matching this award from non-Federal sources.

该项目提供必要的设备(碳/氢/氮分析仪和自动分析仪)，以完成阿勒格尼学院环境科学系植物和土壤、生态系统动力学和环境问题本科生研究的现代仪器分析实验室。该方案始于1985年，当时对一门水质分析课程进行了现代化改造，并建立了一个水质实验室。最近，通过设立一个新的教员职位来提供生态系统生物地球化学和分析分析方面的专业知识，以及通过引入两门新课程，土壤与环境和生物地球化学，该计划得到了进一步的发展。这两门课程都包括生态过程调查和样品采集的实地考察，以及样品制备和仪器分析的实验室练习。这个项目的另一个非常重要的组成部分是所有学生都需要的，在高级综合研究项目中供学生使用的仪器。通过收购CHN分析仪和自动分析仪完成这一实验室，为使用现代技术和分析仪器进行生态系统和环境动态的过程级分析提供了直接经验。受赠人匹配来自非联邦来源的此奖项。
