0107485SchowalterThis is a three-year cooperative project between Dr. Tim Schowalter, Oregon State University, and Dr. Jung-Tai Chao, Taiwan Forestry Research Institute, to study canopy Arthropod responses to storm disturbances at the U.S. and Taiwan LTER sites. Specifically, this project will compare the arthropod response to storm disturbances in early and late successful forests in wet temperate and tropical forests. This is a good cross-site comparison that uses the facilities available from LTER sites in Taiwan and the United States to study a very important question: assessing the impacts by storm disturbances on natural ecosystems. The proposed study could provide a basis of understanding the process that regulates insect diversity and functional roles in wet forest ecosystems. This project also provides an opportunity for a U.S. graduate student to work in Pacific subtropical ecosystems. This proposal addresses an important scientific question and meets the NSF objective of human resource development. The National Science Council of Taiwan and the NSF jointly support this project.

0107485 Schowalter这是一个为期三年的合作项目，由俄勒冈州州立大学的Tim Schowalter博士和台湾林业研究所的Jung-Tai Chao博士合作，研究美国和台湾LTER站点的冠层节肢动物对风暴干扰的反应。 具体而言，本项目将比较节肢动物对湿温带和热带森林中早期和晚期成功森林风暴干扰的反应。 这是一个很好的跨站点比较，使用台湾和美国的LTER站点提供的设施来研究一个非常重要的问题：评估风暴扰动对自然生态系统的影响。 该研究为了解湿地森林生态系统昆虫多样性的调控过程和功能作用提供了基础。该项目还为美国研究生提供了在太平洋亚热带生态系统中工作的机会。 这一建议解决了一个重要的科学问题，并符合NSF的人力资源开发目标。台湾国家科学理事会和国家科学基金会共同支持这个项目。
