Barnes 04-55541Toolik Field Station (TFS), in the northern foothills of the Brooks Range, Alaska, has been a major site for research in the North American Arctic since 1975. Much of what is known about the structure and function of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems of the Arctic and the effects of climate change and feedbacks to global climate comes from the long-term, process-based ecological research projects at TFS. TFS-based work has also resulted in a showcase of discoveries on the adaptations of organisms to the Arctic and population-level changes in animal and plant phenologies and distributions. Because climate is changing most rapidly in arctic and boreal regions and changes in the Arctic are predicted to strongly affect the global climate system, continuing research into the causes, mechanisms of response, and feedbacks to further ecosystem change is a high research priority. Along with the ongoing strong interest for use of TFS as a research platform by scientists from a broad array of disciplines, and a specific call for year-round studies of arctic ecosystems, this high priority promises a steady demand for TFS-based services into the future.Under this agreement Toolik Field Station will:o continue to support NSF funded research projects as requested within the capacity of the station. o develop the station infrastructure and capabilities to support evolving needs and scientific approaches. o develop the educational opportunities, both formal and informal, of the station both onsite and remotely

巴恩斯 04-55541Toolik 野外站 (TFS) 位于阿拉斯加布鲁克斯山脉北麓，自 1975 年以来一直是北美北极研究的主要地点。关于北极陆地和水生生态系统的结构和功能以及气候变化的影响和对全球气候的反馈的大部分知识都来自 TFS 的长期、基于过程的生态研究项目。基于 TFS 的工作还展示了有关生物体对北极的适应以及动植物物候和分布的种群水平变化的发现。由于北极和北方地区的气候变化最快，并且预计北极的变化将强烈影响全球气候系统，因此继续研究其原因、响应机制以及对进一步生态系统变化的反馈是一项高度研究优先事项。随着来自广泛学科的科学家对使用 TFS 作为研究平台的持续浓厚兴趣，以及对北极生态系统进行全年研究的具体呼吁，这一高度优先事项预示着未来对基于 TFS 的服务的稳定需求。根据该协议，Toolik 野外站将继续根据请求在该站的能力范围内支持 NSF 资助的研究项目。 o 发展空间站基础设施和能力，以支持不断变化的需求和科学方法。 o 为该站提供现场和远程的正式和非正式教育机会
