9416925 Bernard This U.S.-Czech cooperative research project between Dr. John Bernard of Ithaca College and Dr. Karel Fiala of the Institute of Landscape Ecology, Czech Academy of Sciences, will address the development of clonal plant populations in normal, unpolluted systems to populations growing in polluted systems. The polluted systems to be studies will feature: 1) mountain forest systems impacted by acid deposition and 2) wetland marsh systems affected by sewage, landfill, or agricultural sources that produce higher loads of decomposing organic matter. The researchers intend to produce an analysis of the effects of pollution on clonal plants in these two natural ecosystems by comparing their observations of natural and perturbed settings and laboratory environments both in the U.S. and the Czech Republic. Results should yield a rich new source of data on plant response to levels of pollution. This project in population biology fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. ***

小行星9416925 这个美国-伊萨卡学院的John Bernard博士和捷克科学院景观生态学研究所的Karel Fiala博士之间的捷克合作研究项目将探讨正常、未受污染系统中的克隆植物种群向受污染系统中生长的种群的发展。 研究的污染系统将具有功能：1）受酸沉降影响的山地森林系统和2）受污水、垃圾填埋场或产生较高分解有机物负荷的农业源影响的湿地沼泽系统。 研究人员打算通过比较他们在美国和捷克共和国对自然和扰动环境以及实验室环境的观察，分析污染对这两个自然生态系统中克隆植物的影响。 研究结果将为植物对污染水平的反应提供丰富的新数据来源。 这个人口生物学项目实现了促进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和东欧的领先专家能够联合收割机互补人才，并在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域汇集研究资源。 ***
