OPUS: Terrestrial carbon in Aquatic Ecosystems: A snythesis

在一篇著名的文章中，S.A.福布斯(1887年)将湖泊比作自我维持的缩影。尽管这种微观观点一直存在，但不同的研究表明，湖泊的新陈代谢、碳储存甚至食物网都与陆地流域的补贴有关。这些联系影响着区域乃至全球的碳平衡。这一领域是成熟的合成，将上面不同的线编织成一块有凝聚力的布。这一作品提案的主要活动是完成一本关于内陆水域和碳循环的书。这本即将完成的书将在德国奥登多夫的InterResearch出版公司的卓越生态丛书中出版。这一作品拨款将允许适度的安静，有资金的时间来完成这本书，并产生两篇关于这个主题的评论文章。这本书本身具有更广泛的影响，因为它将使更广泛的生态学家能够从PIS的角度了解水生系统的陆地支持。ECI图书系列在向更大的生态社区推广这些图书方面做得很好。此外，PI拥有大量数据，这些数据还不在任何正式的数据管理系统中。PI将花费部分时间组织这些数据，然后将它们提供给公众。科尔将在凯里的广播节目《地球智慧》中使用这一合成材料，这是一个一分钟的广告，每天在WAMC播出，为公众报道环境话题。最后，科尔将利用他在哈德逊河食物网络的陆地支持方面的工作来加强卡里的项目“改变哈德逊”，该项目利用一条大河向教师和K-12学生传授生态系统生态学。此外，科尔还将为卡里在《波基普西日报》上每两周一次的专栏《生态焦点》投稿。

In a famous essay, S.A. Forbes (1887) likened lakes to self-sustaining microcosms. While this micrcosm view has persisted, disparate research shows that the metabolism, carbon storage, and even food webs of lakes are linked to subsidies from their terrestrial watersheds. These linkages affects the carbon balance of regions and even the globe. This area is ripe synthesis which will weave the disparate threads above into a cohesive cloth. The main activity in this OPUS proposal is to complete a book on Inland Waters and the Carbon Cycle. The book, which is nearly finished, will be published in the Excellence in Ecology Series of the Inter-Research Publishing Company in Oldendorf, Germany. This OPUS grant will allow a modest amount of quiet, funded time to complete this book and produce two review articles on the topic. The book itself is a broader impact in that it will make the PIs perspective on terrestrial support of aquatic systems available to a broader range of ecologists. The ECI Book Series does a good job of promoting these books to the larger ecological community. Additionally, the PI has a great deal of data that is not yet in any formal data management system. The PI will spend part of his time organizing these data and then making them available to the public. Cole will use material from this synthesis in Cary's radio program "Earth Wise", a one minute spot that airs daily on WAMC and covers environmental topics for the public. Finally, Cole will use his work on terrestrial support of the Hudson River Food web to augment the Cary program "Changing Hudson", a project that uses one large river to teach both teachers and K-12 students about ecosystem ecology. Further Cole will contribute material to Cary's bi-weekly column, "Eco-focus" in the Poughkeepsie Journal.
