Attaining Ecological Understanding at the Regional Level: The Kuparuk River as a Model Arctic System

该奖项是北极系统科学（ARCSS）计划的一部分， 美国全球变化计划 该研究项目将重点关注 综合研究，探索北极之间的相互作用 陆地生态系统和气候。 实地研究将与 对冻土带的测量，以确定环境和 水、能量和微量气体通量的植被相关性 尤其是二氧化碳和甲烷。实地研究将衡量 二氧化碳和甲烷进出土壤的运动， 北极的植被 这个项目是一个更大的 这是一个跨学科的项目，被称为ARCSS FLUX项目。

This award is part of the Arctic System Science (ARCSS) Program, a U.S. Global Change Program. The research project will focus on integrated research that explores interactions between arctic terrestrial ecosystems and climate. Field research will be related to measurements of tundra to determine the environmental and vegetation correlates of fluxes of water, energy and trace gases especially carbon dioxide and methane. Field studies will measure the movement of carbon dioxide and methane to and from the soil and vegetation in the Arctic. This project is a component of a larger interdisciplinary program known as the ARCSS FLUX Program.
