U.S.-Chile Program Planning Visit: Fog, Trees, Ecosystem Functioning and Biodiversity of Relict Temperate Rain Forest Patches in Fray Jorge National Park, Chile

这项美国和智利的奖金将支持dr。纽约生态系统研究所的Clive G. Jones、Holly Ewing和Kathleen C. Weathers，加州大学伯克利分校的Todd E. Dawson博士和加州大学伯克利分校的patricia Vidiella女士计划访问，以完成与加州大学伯克利分校的一项研究合作提案。Juan J. Armesto, Pablo A. Marquet和Olga Barbosa女士，智利大学。研究人员正在研究雾在生态系统中的作用、物种在生态系统功能中的作用、生态过程的扩大、生态系统功能与生物多样性之间的关系，以及全球变化的生态影响。他们的研究地点是智利的弗雷豪尔赫国家公园。这项工作的结果将有助于对加利福尼亚海岸红杉等生态系统进行适当的管理。

0313927JonesThis U.S.-Chile award will support Drs. Clive G. Jones and Holly Ewing and Kathleen C. Weathers, Institute of Ecosystem Studies, New York, , Dr. Todd E. Dawson, University of California, Berkeley, and Ms.Patricia Vidiella, University of California, Berkeley, for a planning visit to complete a proposal for a research collaboration with Drs. Juan J. Armesto, Pablo A. Marquet, and Ms. Olga Barbosa, University of Chile. The researchers are working on research to understand the role of fog in ecosystems, the role of species in ecosystem functioning, the scaling up of ecological processes, the relationships between ecosystem functioning and biodiversity, and the ecological impacts of global change. Their study site is the Fray Jorge National Park in Chile. The results of this work will give insight into proper management of ecosystems such as the coastal redwoods of California.
