FSML: Construction of a Multi-user Facility at the Jornada Experimental Range Field Station

新墨西哥州立大学获得了一笔拨款，用于建设一个多用户设施，以加强在加拿大实验靶场进行研究和教育的机会。成立于1912年的Jornada的研究已经产生了最长的生态数据记录之一，并产生了关于沙漠景观的出版物。这个知识库对了解奇瓦瓦沙漠的关键生态过程和特性，以及适用于世界1/3PrdP的生态原则做出了重大贡献。美国的陆地表面是干旱的牧场。该设施参与了一系列重要的国家科学计划，包括作为长期生态研究站点的原始队列之一，现在是国家生态观测网络内的一个可搬迁站点，将Jornada提升为一个独特的地位，作为一个多机构，多维度和国际科学设施，对干旱地区及其保护和管理具有重要意义。该奖项将通过提供资金建造一个2000平方英尺的实验室，大大提高Jornada的研究和教育能力。多用户设施，支持科学家、学生、土地管理者和公众的研究和培训。该设施将提供空间访问科学家办公室、存储和会议空间、数据管理和样品制备。来自四大洲的50多个机构、机构、非政府组织和大学正在积极与该研究项目合作，将从该设施中受益。该设施将拥有主要的Jornada是培训公共和私人牧场土地管理人员的关键场所，这些牧场占美国土地面积的近50%。Jornada与Asombro科学教育研究所合作，每年为超过10,000名学生和教师提供教育项目。

New Mexico State University has been awarded a grant for a multi-user facility to enhance access to research and education at the Jornada Experimental Range. Established in 1912, research at Jornada has resulted in one of the longest records of ecological data and resulting publications in existence for desert landscapes. This knowledge base has been a major contribution to understanding key ecological processes and properties of the Chihuahuan Desert, and ecological principles that apply to the 1/3PrdP of the world?s land surface that is arid rangeland. The facility participates in a broad array of important national science programs, including as one of the original cohorts of Long Term Ecological Research sites and now a proposed relocatable site within the National Ecological Observation Network, has elevated the Jornada into a unique status as a multi-agency, multi-dimensional, and international scientific facility of major importance for arid lands, their conservation, and their management.The award will greatly improve capabilities for research and education at the Jornada by providing funds to construct a 2000 sq. ft. P multi-user facility to support research and training for scientists, students, land managers, and the general public. The facility will provide space visiting scientist offices, storage and meeting spaces, data management and sample preparation. Over 50 agencies, institutions, non-government organizations, and universities from 4 continents are actively collaborating with the research program will benefit from the facility. The facility will have major Jornada is a key site for training of land managers of both public and private rangelands that comprise nearly 50% of the land area of the US. Jornada provides sites for education programs for over 10,000 students and teachers per year in collaboration with the Asombro Institute for Science Education.
