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

这是一项为期三年的合作研究，由堪萨斯大学的Steven Hamburg博士和台湾森林研究所的Hen Biau King博士提出。这项提案计划研究空气污染对台湾亚热带森林的影响。申请的资金主要用于资助一名研究生和旅行。台湾森林研究所和台湾国家科学委员会为这项研究提供了主要的后勤和实验室支持。这是一个重要的项目，因为它可以为亚热带森林研究提供关键信息。这项研究的成功可以加深我们对亚热带雨林生态系统的动态及其对污染胁迫和大气/生物圈相互作用的响应的理解。

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.
