项目摘要

For about 20 years, researchers with the Baltimore Long-Term Environmental Research (LTER) project have studied ecology within the city of Baltimore. When it started, the Baltimore LTER project was highly unusual because most ecologists were working in more natural environments. This was one of the very first urban ecology sites. A long-term approach was needed for urban ecology because changes happen slowly and important events can be rare in urban ecosystems. The team of scientists made many ground-breaking discoveries about nature in cities. They figured out the basics of how an urban ecosystem works. For example, they discovered how nutrients such as nitrogen flow through steams and are affected by lawns. They also studied plants, mosquitoes and birds. Results of these studies remain important for improving environmental quality in cities and for helping reduce the global impact of human activities. The latter is especially important because most humans live in cities. LTER scientists have worked closely with teachers and students in Baltimore to share their findings and engage a new generation in ecological discoveries. This proposal provides support for the final three years of the Baltimore LTER project. Research at the Baltimore LTER site has focused on natural exogenous drivers, interacting with urban ecosystem structure to influence function. Exogenous drivers include climate, species introductions, and economy; urban ecosystem structure includes physical, biological, social, and built components; and response functions include watershed biogeochemistry, the composition of ecological communities, and human environmental decision making. This framework was used to address questions about sources and sinks of water and nutrients in urban watersheds, ecological communities and their capacity to change over time, and environmental perceptions and behaviors of households and organizations over the long term. During this final phase of the Baltimore LTER project, the following activities will take place: 1) processing and analysis of final samples, with limited new data collection; 2) ensuring data availability in perpetuity; 3) analyzing and synthesizing data; 4) preparing publications that use and present BES datasets; 5) developing a stable and static website that describes the 20 year history of the project and provides links to data, publications and other resources; and 6) decommissioning of long-term field sites in Baltimore.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

大约20年来，巴尔的摩长期环境研究（LTER）项目的研究人员在巴尔的摩市研究了生态学。当它开始时，巴尔的摩lter项目非常不寻常，因为大多数生态学家都在更自然的环境中工作。这是最早的城市生态网站之一。城市生态学需要一种长期的方法，因为变化发生缓慢，重要事件在城市生态系统中可能很少。科学家团队在城市中对自然发现了许多开创性的发现。他们弄清楚了城市生态系统的工作原理。例如，他们发现诸如氮气流过蒸汽等养分如何受到草坪的影响。他们还研究了植物，蚊子和鸟类。这些研究的结果对于改善城市的环境质量以及帮助减少人类活动的全球影响仍然很重要。后者尤其重要，因为大多数人都生活在城市中。 lter科学家与巴尔的摩的老师和学生紧密合作，分享他们的发现，并参与生态发现。该提案为巴尔的摩lter项目的最后三年提供了支持。巴尔的摩lter地点的研究集中在自然的外源驱动器上，与城市生态系统结构相互作用以影响功能。外源驾驶员包括气候，物种介绍和经济；城市生态系统结构包括物理，生物学，社会和建筑组成部分；响应功能包括流域生物地球化学，生态社区的组成以及人类环境决策。该框架用于解决有关城市流域，生态社区中水和养分的来源和水槽的问题，从长远来看，他们随着时间的流逝以及家庭和组织的环境看法和行为的变化能力。在巴尔的摩lter项目的最后阶段，将进行以下活动：1）对最终样本进行处理和分析，并收集有限的新数据； 2）确保永久性数据可用性； 3）分析和合成数据； 4）准备使用并呈现BES数据集的出版物； 5）开发一个稳定而静态的网站，该网站描述了该项目的20年历史，并提供了与数据，出版物和其他资源的链接； 6）在巴尔的摩的长期野外现场退役。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
