This DDEP proposal is to support Ms. Christine M. Lucas working under PI Dr. Emilio Bruna to conduct research in Brazil. Ms. Lucas will collaborate with two mentors in Brazil and share their facility, namely Dr. Jochen Shöngart and Dr. Maria Teresa F. Piedade of the Brazilian Amazon Research Institute (INPA). Ms. Lucas will investigate the dynamics of flood plain forest regeneration and succession, in particular how the interaction of flood stress and disturbances affect the seedling community, a vulnerable stage in tree life history. The Brazilian experts will guide Ms. Lucas to identify inventoried tree species and to calculate aboveground carbon sequestration. By conducting collaborative research in Brazil, Ms. Lucas expects to fill a broad gap in understanding how tropical forested wetlands configure into Amazonian carbon budgets.

发展和发展部的这项提议是为了支持Christine M.Lucas女士在国际和平协会埃米利奥·布鲁纳博士的指导下在巴西开展研究。Lucas女士将与巴西的两位导师合作，分享他们的设施，他们是巴西亚马逊研究所(INPA)的Jochen Shöngart博士和Maria Teresa F.Piedade博士。卢卡斯女士将研究洪泛区森林更新和演替的动态，特别是洪水压力和干扰的相互作用如何影响苗木群落，这是树木生活史上的一个脆弱阶段。巴西专家将指导卢卡斯女士确定已登记的树种，并计算地上的固碳能力。通过在巴西开展合作研究，卢卡斯希望填补在理解热带森林湿地如何配置到亚马逊地区的碳预算方面的广泛空白。
