Understanding the dynamics of biotic response to past environmental change is anessential element for predicting the effect on the earth's biosphere of futureenvironmental change. Although time-series data in the geologic record represents themajor source of information describing the dynamics of this past biotic response,methodological and administrative gulfs between biological scientists and earthscientists, and among real-time, recent-past, and deep-time approaches, have hinderedbasic research and its application to policy issues. This study will describe mechanismsfor promoting the interdisciplinary science at the interface of biology and geology thatdepends on the collection, analysis, and understanding of biogeologic time-series data.The study will provide the basis for informed decision-making in government, industry, and academia, by (1) assessing the current state of biogeologic analysis relevant to biosphere dynamics; (2) identifying the most promising directions for collaborative research and the sharing of methodologies; and (3) describing the programmatic themes and research and data infrastructures required to accomplish these interdisciplinary objectives

了解生物对过去环境变化的动态反应是预测未来环境变化对地球生物圈影响的一个基本要素。虽然地质记录中的时间序列数据代表了描述过去生物反应动态的主要信息来源，但生物科学家和地球科学家之间，以及实时、最近和深时方法之间的方法和管理鸿沟，阻碍了基础研究及其在政策问题上的应用。本研究将描述促进生物学和地质学交叉科学的机制，它依赖于对生态学时间序列数据的收集、分析和理解，本研究将为政府、工业界和学术界提供知情决策的基础，通过（1）评估与生物圈动力学相关的生态学分析的现状;（2）确定合作研究和方法共享的最有希望的方向;（3）描述实现这些跨学科目标所需的计划主题和研究与数据基础设施
