Toolik Field Station Base Funding

自1975年以来，图利克野外站(TFS)一直是北美北极地区的一个主要研究地点。关于北极陆地和水生生态系统的结构和功能、气候变化的影响以及对全球气候的反馈的许多已知知识，都来自于TFS基于过程的长期生态研究。基于TFS的工作已经在生物对北极的适应以及动植物分布和物候的种群水平变化方面取得了重大发现。由于北极气候变化迅速，对生态系统响应和反馈机制的持续研究是当务之急。这种需求以及来自多个学科的科学家对TFS的持续兴趣预示着未来对TFS科学支持的稳定需求。TFS支持北极长期生态研究计划(LTER)、北极观测网络计划(AON)、美国国家航空航天局(NASA)北极脆弱性实验(上图)、地球望远镜可移动阵列，以及国家生态观测网络计划(NEON)的核心站点。TFS是欧盟赞助的北极陆地研究和监测国际网络(InterAct)的创始合作伙伴，该网络连接了环北极地区的野外观测站，也是生物野外观测站组织(OBFS)的成员。在TFS的研究中，至少发表了993篇同行评议的期刊文章，161本书或书的章节，144篇论文和论文。

The Toolik Field Station (TFS) has been a major site for research in the North American Arcticsince 1975. Much of what is known about structure and function of arctic terrestrial and aquaticecosystems, effects of climate change, and feedbacks to global climate has emerged from longterm, process-based ecological research at TFS. TFS-based work has resulted in significantdiscoveries on adaptations of organisms to the Arctic and population-level changes in animaland plant distributions and phenologies. Because climate is changing rapidly in the Arctic,continuing research into mechanisms of ecosystem response and feedbacks is a high priority.This need and ongoing interest by scientists from many disciplines in use of TFS promise asteady demand for TFS science support in the future. TFS supports the Arctic Long-Term EcologicalResearch program (LTER), projects in the Arctic Observatory Network program (AON), NASA?sArctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE), the Earthscope Transportable Array, and isa core site for the National Ecological Observatory Network program (NEON). TFS is a foundingpartner in the EU-sponsored International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoringin the Arctic (INTERACT), which links field stations around the circumpolar Arctic, and amember of the Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS). At least 993 peer-reviewedjournal articles, 161 books or book chapters and 144 dissertations and theses have been publishedon research based at TFS.
