Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for FY 1997

摘要DBI 9750229金伯利·L·舒尔茨这一行动资助了美国国家科学基金会1997年与环境有关的生物科学博士后研究奖学金。这一奖学金为研究员提供了一个在博士学位之外获得额外科学培训的机会，并在任何生物领域的分子、细胞、组织、种群、社区和/或生态系统层面上以创新和富有想象力的方式探索生物体与其环境之间相互作用的基本机制，这一领域得到了国家科学基金会生物科学局的支持。每个研究金资助一项研究和培训计划，该计划将在一个赞助实验室进行。该奖学金的研究和培训计划题为“作为水生食草动物群落中主要食草动物的决定因素，对湖泊的营养输入。”在实验室和野外对湖泊浮游动物群落进行了中观实验，以确定草食动物群落是如何由营养物质负荷构成的，3个主要假说的机制对浮游动物群落组成的预测有多好，以及不同负荷条件下浮游动物群落对营养物质循环的生态反馈。

Abstract DBI 9750229 Kimberly L. Schulz This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for 1997. This fellowship provides an opportunity for the Fellow to gain additional scientific training beyond the doctoral degree and to pursue innovative and imaginative into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the interactions between organisms and their environment at the molecular, cellular, organismal, population, community and/or ecosystem level in any area of biology supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences of the National Science Foundation. Each fellowship supports a research and training plan to be carried out in a sponsoring laboratory. The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "Nutrient inputs to lakes as determinants of the dominate herbivorous animals in aquatic grazer communities." Laboratory and field mesocosm experiments on lake zooplankton communities are being conducted to determine how herbivore communities are structured by nutrient loading, how well the mechanisms of 3 major hypotheses predict zooplankton community composition, and the feedbacks to the ecosystem of nutrient recycling by zooplankton communities under differing loading conditions.
