AbstractMany problems societies face are increasingly regional to global in scope. Problems such as droughts, floods, and disease in one part of the world can have far reaching health and economic impacts on other regions. Understanding the relationship and linkages require an understanding of global scale biological processes and dynamics. International networks and "Observatories" have been emerging that could play a significant role in providing valuable data and expertise to develop this understanding. This workshop will bring together Observatory and Network scientists with the overarching goal of developing a road-map to explore a network-of-networks and observatory-of-observatories approach to answer regional to global ecological questions. The workshop will explore: i) what are the current ecological theories and grand challenge questions that span continents in order to provide a broader ecological understanding and prognostic capability to inform science and society; ii) how can Observatories/Networks be used to address among continent (global) grand challenges, iii) what attributes can be integrated among Observatories/Networks to foster a broader understanding; and iv) which are the near term strategic targets that should be followed by the scientific community. The workshop will identify related societal needs and benefits and how these networks/observatories can contribute data, knowledge and forecasts. The workshop will focus on ecological contribution of Observatories/Networks to societal benefits areas including: agriculture, biodiversity, climate, ecosystems, water, and weather.

社会所面临的许多问题在范围上正从区域性日益扩大到全球性。 世界一个地区的干旱、洪水和疾病等问题可能对其他地区的健康和经济产生深远的影响。要了解这种关系和联系，就需要了解全球范围的生物过程和动态。国际网络和“观测站”已经出现，它们可以在提供宝贵的数据和专门知识以促进这一认识方面发挥重要作用。该研讨会将汇集观测站和网络科学家，其总体目标是制定一个路线图，探索网络的网络和观测站的观测站方法，以回答区域和全球生态问题。研讨会将探讨：i）当前的生态理论和跨越大陆的重大挑战问题是什么，以便提供更广泛的生态理解和预测能力，为科学和社会提供信息; ii）如何使用观测站/网络来解决大陆（全球）重大挑战，iii）观测站/网络之间可以整合哪些属性，以促进更广泛的理解;（四）科学界应遵循的近期战略目标。讲习班将确定相关的社会需求和惠益，以及这些网络/观测站如何能够贡献数据、知识和预报。研讨会将重点关注观测站/网络对社会效益领域的生态贡献，包括：农业、生物多样性、气候、生态系统、水和天气。
