The biosphere has changed more in the past 50 years than during any time in human history. Environmental change, land use change, and the introduction of invasive species that collectively affect living systems by altering the fundamental relationships between life and the non-living environment that sustains it. Many of the changes challenge our understanding of how the biosphere works - how the ecological systems on which we depend will respond to changes in environment, land use, biodiversity, and a host of related environmental factors. Research in Macrosystems Biology is developing basic scientific knowledge needed to understand the biosphere at regional to continental and annual to decadal scales, to quantify the strong and weak forces regulating the biosphere, and to predict the consequences of environmental and land use change and invasive species on living systems is difficult to extrapolate from studies conducted at local or global scales. Macrosystems ecology seeks to understand ecological processes and interactions at the broadest scales and has potential to help solve globally important social and ecological challenges. Critical advances in this field are shared through publications, presentations, and synthesis activities such as workshops and symposia. This meeting will broaden impacts through professional development and engagement of a diverse pool of scientists, collaboration and synthesis of active researchers, and by generating new ideas and synthetic research products. A substantial proportion of funding for this meeting is specifically allocated to support early career scientists. This conference award will support a meeting of Macrosystems Biology and NEON-Enabled Science investigators, postdoctoral scientists, and graduate students. Substantial investments in Macrosystems Biology research and education are generating new insights into pattern and process at Macro-scales. The meeting will advance Macrosystems Biology and NEON-Enabled Science by: 1) Fostering collaboration and synthesis among scientists and graduate students across funded Macrosystems Biology projects; 2) Facilitating networking and professional development of attendees, especially early career scientists; 3) Identifying relationships and synergies among MSB and the NSF-funded National Ecological Observatory Network and the National Center for Atmospheric Research; and 4) Developing a white paper that outlines the major challenges and opportunities for NEON-enabled science in the near future. Discussion of common and contrasting research themes will yield insights to generate new Macrosystems Biology theory and best-practices for critical advancements in the emerging discipline of Macrosystems Biology.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.

在过去的50年里，生物圈的变化比人类历史上的任何时候都要大。环境变化、土地利用变化以及入侵物种的引入，通过改变生命与维持生命的非生命环境之间的基本关系，共同影响着生命系统。许多变化挑战了我们对生物圈如何工作的理解--我们所依赖的生态系统将如何应对环境、土地利用、生物多样性和一系列相关环境因素的变化。大系统生物学研究正在发展所需的基本科学知识，以便在区域到大陆和年度到十年的尺度上了解生物圈，量化调节生物圈的强势和弱势，并预测环境和土地利用变化以及入侵物种对生物系统的影响，这是从地方或全球尺度上进行的研究难以推断的。大系统生态学寻求在最广泛的尺度上了解生态过程和相互作用，并具有帮助解决全球重要的社会和生态挑战的潜力。通过出版物、演讲和综合活动，如研讨会和专题讨论会，分享这一领域的关键进展。这次会议将通过不同科学家的专业发展和参与、活跃的研究人员的合作和综合以及产生新的想法和合成研究产品来扩大影响。这次会议的很大一部分资金专门用于支持早期职业科学家。该会议奖将支持大系统生物学和霓虹灯启动的科学研究人员、博士后科学家和研究生的会议。在宏观系统生物学研究和教育方面的大量投资正在产生对宏观尺度上的模式和过程的新见解。会议将通过以下方式推进大系统生物学和霓虹灯启用科学：1)促进科学家和研究生之间在资助的大系统生物学项目之间的合作和合成；2)促进与会者，特别是职业早期科学家的联网和专业发展；3)确定MSB与NSF资助的国家生态观测站网络和国家大气研究中心之间的关系和协同作用；以及4)制定一份白皮书，概述在不久的将来霓虹灯启用科学的主要挑战和机遇。共同和对比研究主题的讨论将产生洞察力，以产生新的大系统生物学理论和最佳实践，以促进新兴大系统生物学学科的关键进步。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
