This project seeks to understand emerging network dynamics from global to molecular scales through convergent research that spans the most recent methodological advances in biology, chemistry, mathematics, anthropology, and traditional indigenous knowledge. The proposal specifically focuses on the effects of harvesting balsa wood from Amazonian rainforests for wind-turbine production in China on forest biodiversity and indigenous communities. The main objectives are to: 1) enhance knowledge of forest species ecological and chemical interactions through indigenous knowledge of biodiversity and medicinal plant value, 2) measure the effects of balsa-harvesting on these species interaction networks, and 3) use mathematical modeling to generalize these processes and make predictions about ecosystem resilience and sustainability. The project will be in collaboration with indigenous community members and will incorporate their traditional knowledge of plant and animal species as part of an integrated research team. This project directly increases our understanding of the rules of life by gaining insight into the genetic, chemical and ecological mechanisms at all scales of organization that maintain biodiversity in tropical systems and predicting the subsequent effects on ecosystem resilience in a changing environment. Quantifying how phytochemical and genetic variation are jointly structured across the landscape and contribute to the maintenance of biodiversity can contribute substantially to understanding this rule of life: the resiliency of complex ecosystems can be predicted from carefully quantified genetics, ecological interactions, and disturbances, many of which are mediated through biochemical networks. The proposal specifically focuses on the effects of harvesting balsa wood for wind-turbine production in China from Amazonian rainforests, and the research will examine the effects of forest disruptions on Kichwa and Waorani communities and on the phytochemistry and diversity associated with the tropical pepper shrub, Piper. The proposed project will examine how these systems are linked across multiple scales, from global networks focused on producing sustainable energy, to networks of interactions with the indigenous peoples whose livelihoods and medicinal plant communities are affected by those production networks, to the ecological, chemical, and genetic networks that are the basis of species interactions with plant communities.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.

该项目旨在通过跨越生物学，化学，数学，人类学和传统土著知识的最新方法学进展的聚合研究，从全球到分子尺度了解新兴的网络动态。 该提案特别侧重于从亚马逊雨林采伐轻木用于中国风力涡轮机生产对森林生物多样性和土著社区的影响。主要目标是：1）通过生物多样性和药用植物价值的土著知识，加强对森林物种生态和化学相互作用的了解，2）衡量轻木采伐对这些物种相互作用网络的影响，3）使用数学建模来概括这些过程，并对生态系统的恢复力和可持续性进行预测。该项目将与土著社区成员合作，并将纳入他们关于动植物物种的传统知识，作为综合研究小组的一部分。该项目通过深入了解维持热带系统生物多样性的所有组织规模的遗传，化学和生态机制，并预测在不断变化的环境中对生态系统恢复力的后续影响，直接增加了我们对生命规则的理解。量化植物化学和遗传变异如何在整个景观中共同构建，并有助于维持生物多样性，可以大大有助于理解这一生命规则：复杂生态系统的弹性可以通过仔细量化的遗传学，生态相互作用和干扰来预测，其中许多是通过生化网络介导的。该提案特别侧重于从亚马逊热带雨林采伐轻木用于中国风力涡轮机生产的影响，研究将审查森林破坏对Kichwa和Waorani社区的影响，以及对与热带胡椒灌木Piper相关的植物化学和多样性的影响。拟议的项目将审查这些系统如何在多个尺度上相互联系，从侧重于生产可持续能源的全球网络，到与生计和药用植物社区受到这些生产网络影响的土著人民的互动网络，到生态、化学、和遗传网络，这是物种与植物群落相互作用的基础。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为值得支持通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。
