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

摘要 DBI 9750214大卫·胡珀 这项行动为1997年国家科学基金会与环境有关的生物科学博士后研究金提供资金。 该奖学金为研究员提供了一个机会，使他们能够在博士学位之外获得额外的科学培训，并在分子，细胞，生物体，种群，在国家科学基金会生物科学理事会支持的任何生物学领域的社区和/或生态系统水平。 每项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“北极苔原植物应对气候变化的碳储存”。“这项研究是调查温度作为直接影响和养分供应作为间接影响植物总生产力。 从2个模型，GASFLUX和MBL/CSA，通量测量的预测进行了比较，为不同的北极植物群落。 这些模型中的差异将被利用，以更好地了解植物功能性状如何控制苔原生态系统中的碳平衡。

Abstract DBI 9750214 David Hooper 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 "Storage of carbon in arctic tundra plants in response to climatic change." The research is investigates temperature as a direct effect and nutrient availability as an indirect effect on plant gross productivity. Predictions of flux measurements from 2 models, GASFLUX and MBL/CSA, are being compared for different arctic plant communities. The differences in these models will be exploited to better understand how plant functional traits control the carbon balance in the tundra ecosystem.
