LIU 9702684 In this CAREER award, the investigator will use a systems approach to determine the effect of four major human activities - timber harvesting, fuelwood collection, house building, and construction of hydroelectric stations - on panda habitat in the Wolong Nature Reserve, China. The PI will 1) assess the spatio-temporal interrelationships of multiple human activities; 2) evaluate land cover change and survey vegetation and panda habitat conditions along gradients of human activities; and 3) develop a spatially explicit landscape simulation model that predicts multi-scale interactions and ecological consequences of human activities. The research will provide important insights into understanding the relationship between multiple human activities and wildlife habitat dynamics. The proposed research will be tightly integrated with educating future leaders in landscape ecology. The trainees will gain international research experience and will learn leadership skills by being key members of the organizing committee for the 1998 US-IALE Landscape Ecology Conference. The PI will also incorporate the research methods and results into three courses so that many students can benefit from the research activity. The interrelated research and educational activities will help students fully prepare for their professional careers and add a significant dimension to their understanding and solution of complex global ecological problems.

在这个职业奖中，研究者将使用系统方法来确定四种主要的人类活动——木材采伐、薪柴收集、房屋建造和水电站建设——对中国卧龙自然保护区大熊猫栖息地的影响。PI将1)评估多种人类活动的时空相互关系；2)沿人类活动梯度评价土地覆被变化，调查植被和大熊猫栖息地状况；3)建立空间明确的景观模拟模型，预测人类活动的多尺度相互作用和生态后果。该研究将为理解多种人类活动与野生动物栖息地动态之间的关系提供重要见解。拟议的研究将与培养景观生态学的未来领导者紧密结合。学员将获得国际研究经验，并通过成为1998年美国- iale景观生态学会议组委会的主要成员，学习领导技能。PI还将把研究方法和结果纳入三门课程，以便许多学生可以从研究活动中受益。相互关联的研究和教育活动将帮助学生为他们的职业生涯做好充分的准备，并为他们理解和解决复杂的全球生态问题增加重要的维度。
