This award is to support research that will develop new data on the effect of changing climate on the climatically sensitive upper forest limit in the Pirin Mountains.Fieldwork will be undertaken to collect samples from a series of cirque lakes near the upper forest limit in the Pirin Mountains. Plant macrofossil data and radiocarbon dating will supplement pollen data already in hand. In addition, stable isotope analysis of carbonate in lake sediments will be used as an independent method of climate reconstruction.The broader impacts of this proposed research are that it will lead to a better understanding of the vegetational and climatic history of an area that is transitional between Western Europe and the continental interior.

该奖项旨在支持研究，以开发气候变化对皮林山脉气候敏感的森林上限影响的新数据。将进行实地工作，从皮林山脉森林上限附近的一系列马戏团湖泊收集样本。植物大化石数据和放射性碳定年将补充现有的花粉数据。此外，湖泊沉积物中碳酸盐的稳定同位素分析将作为一种独立的气候重建方法。这项拟议研究的更广泛的影响是，它将使人们更好地了解西欧和大陆内陆之间过渡地区的植被和气候历史。
