This project will continue the Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site Program (REU) at the University of New Mexico in conjunction with the Sevilleta Long-Term Ecological Research Program (LTER). This project will allow eight undergraduate students per year for three summers (1999-2001) to work in direct association with the Sevilleta LTER faculty investigators. The students will participate in a coordinated research program that will address the relationships among ecosystem productivity, biodiversity, and climate fluctuations in the biome transition zones at the Sevilleta LTER site in central New Mexico. The students will receive extensive training and experience in plant and animal systematics, taxonomy, and ecological relationships that emphasize trophic structure and ecosystem productivity. Students will participate in all aspects of research, from planning new projects and collecting field data through computer data management and analysis, report preparation, and oral presentations of results. Special training in Geographical Information Systems and Global Positioning Systems will be included in the program. A seminar series in ecology and systematics (with UNM course credit) will be offered to REU participants. Students will live and work together with UNM faculty, staff, and graduate students at the Sevilleta Field Research Station (housing cost provided by UNM). Fall semester REU stipends at UNM (cost-share) will allow students to continue research projects into the autumn growing season in New Mexico.

该项目将继续在新墨西哥州的大学本科生网站计划（REU）的研究经验，与塞维利亚长期生态研究计划（LTER）结合。 该项目将允许每年8名本科生在三个夏天（1999-2001年）与塞维利亚LTER学院的调查人员直接合作。学生们将参加一个协调的研究计划，该计划将解决生态系统生产力，生物多样性和气候波动之间的关系，在生物群落过渡区在塞维利亚LTER网站在中部新墨西哥州。 学生将获得广泛的培训和经验，在植物和动物系统学，分类学和生态关系，强调营养结构和生态系统生产力。 学生将参与研究的各个方面，从规划新项目和通过计算机数据管理和分析收集现场数据，编写报告和口头报告的结果。 地理信息系统和全球定位系统方面的专门培训将列入该方案。 将为REU参与者提供生态学和系统学系列研讨会（UNM课程学分）。 学生将与UNM的教职员工和研究生一起生活和工作在塞维利亚实地研究站（UNM提供的住房费用）。 秋季学期REU津贴在UNM（成本分摊）将允许学生继续研究项目到秋季生长季节在新墨西哥州。
