项目摘要

The Luquillo Long-Term Ecological Research Program (LUQ) integrates research and educational activities through a focus on two great challenges confronting society in the 21st Century: climate change and land use change. The goal is to understand: 1) how the environment of northeast Puerto Rico is changing; 2) the consequences of such change for biodiversity, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem services; and 3) how society can manage or adapt to these changes. Research will involve continuing long-term studies along climate and land use gradients, modeling and synthesis, and long-term field experiments and a new landscape-level project that are designed to provide a mechanistic understanding of the effects of key drivers of long-term change. Using integrated theoretical, experimental, and observational approaches, LUQ 5 will provide a comprehensive scientific framework for evaluating the management of tropical ecosystems and their services. The program will continue to train numerous graduate and undergraduate students, especially members of underrepresented groups, producing a cadre of collaborative, multidisciplinary scientists who can link population, community, and ecosystem approaches to provide a predictive understanding of environmental change. Schoolyard LTER in LUQ 5 will reach teachers and hundreds of middle and high school students through field research and via a web-based middle school curriculum for teaching ecology.

Luquillo长期生态研究项目（LUQ）将研究和教育活动结合起来，重点关注21世纪社会面临的两大挑战：气候变化和土地利用变化。目标是了解：1)波多黎各东北部的环境是如何变化的；2)这种变化对生物多样性、生物地球化学和生态系统服务的影响；3)社会如何管理或适应这些变化。研究将包括气候和土地利用梯度的持续长期研究、建模和综合、长期实地试验和一个新的景观级项目，该项目旨在提供对长期变化关键驱动因素影响的机制理解。利用综合理论、实验和观测方法，luq5将为评价热带生态系统的管理及其服务提供一个全面的科学框架。该项目将继续培养大量的研究生和本科生，特别是代表性不足的群体的成员，培养一批合作的、多学科的科学家骨干，他们可以将人口、社区和生态系统的方法联系起来，提供对环境变化的预测性理解。通过实地调查和基于网络的中学教学生态课程，LUQ 5的校园LTER将覆盖教师和数百名初高中学生。
