AIT(U.S.)-CCNAA (Taiwan) Cooperative Research: Nitrogen Pollution and a Subtropical Forest Ecosystem

这是由美国堪萨斯大学的Steven Hamburg博士和台湾森林研究所的Hen Biau King博士提出的一项为期三年的合作研究。本提案拟研究空气污染对台湾亚热带森林的影响。所要求的资金主要用于支持研究生和旅行。本研究由台湾森林研究所及国家科学委员会提供主要的后勤及实验室支援。该项目可为亚热带森林研究提供重要信息。该研究的成功有助于我们进一步了解亚热带雨林生态系统的动力学及其对污染胁迫和大气/生物圈相互作用的响应。

This is a three-year cooperative study proposed by Dr. Steven Hamburg, the University of Kansas, and Dr. Hen Biau King, Taiwan Forest Research Institute. This proposal plans to study the effects of air pollution on subtropical forests in Taiwan. The funds requested are primarily for supporting a graduate student and travel. The Taiwan Forest Research Institute and the Taiwan National Science Council have provided the primary logistic and laboratory support for this study. This is an important project since it can provide critical information for subtropical forest research. The success of this study can enhance our understanding of dynamics of the subtropical rainforest ecosystem and its response to pollution stress and atmosphere/biosphere interactions.
