NSF Young Investigator

本研究项目将集中于两个主要主题：植被变化机制和资源经济学。这项研究将在佛罗里达海岸地区进行，并将调查洪水和盐度制度变化对沿海植物群落的影响。还将讨论植物根系发育可塑性的成本和收益。这类研究应产生相当重要的成果，以便更好地了解和管理沼泽等脆弱的沿海环境。

This research project will focus on two main topics: mechanisms of vegetation change and resource economics. The research will be conducted in areas of the Florida coast and will investigate the effects of changes in flooding and salinity regimes on coastal plant communities. Costs and benefits of plant root system developmental plasticity will also be addressed. %%% Research of this type should have outputs of considerable importance to the better understanding and management of fragile coastal environments like marshes.
