9318515 Lowman This grant helps support a symposium on the ecology, biodiversity, and conservation of forest-canopy biota, to be held at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, FL. Leading scientists from many disciplines and countries have been invited to participate. Forest canopies are well recognized sites of biodiversity, yet very little is recognized about their biota and ecology. Intact forest canopies are disappearing rapidly on a global scale, often before even the rudiments of their biology are understood. Canopy research has experienced many methodological breakthroughs in the past two decades, and this symposium will bring together active researchers to exchange ideas on research results, methods, goals, and priorities. %%% This symposium will improve the abilities of participating scientists to conduct canopy research. Results from canopy research can be applied to forest management and conservation biology. ***

9318515 Lowman这笔赠款帮助支持在佛罗里达州萨拉索塔的玛丽·塞尔比植物园举行的关于森林-树冠生物群的生态学、生物多样性和保护的研讨会。来自许多学科和国家的顶尖科学家已被邀请参加。森林树冠是公认的生物多样性场所，但人们对其生物群和生态学的认识却很少。在全球范围内，完整的森林树冠正在迅速消失，往往甚至在了解它们的生物学基础之前。在过去的二十年里，冠层研究经历了许多方法论上的突破，这次研讨会将聚集活跃的研究人员，就研究结果、方法、目标和优先事项交换意见。这次研讨会将提高参与研究的科学家进行树冠研究的能力。冠层研究的结果可应用于森林管理和保护生物学。***
