AQUASHIFT: programm co-ordination and meta-analysis of seasonal patterns

AQUASHIFT的主要目的是分析气候变化将如何影响水生生物的季节性生长和活动模式，从而改变水生群落和生态系统的结构和功能。虽然主要数据和具体地点的结论将由个别实验和观测AQUASHIFT项目提供，但需要优先方案内的协调和讨论进程以及观测和实验时间序列数据的中央元分析，以确定一般模式，并将其与特定地点和特定生态系统类型区分开来。为此，需要为AQUASHIFT内的交流和协调系统(2个讲习班、协调员行程、主页)和中央元分析提供资金。

It is the main purpose of AQUASHIFT, to analyse how climate change will affect the seasonal growth and activity patterns of aquatic organisms and, thereby, change the structure and functioning of aquatic communities and ecosystems. While primary data and site-specific conclusion will be provided by the individual experimental and observational AQUASHIFT-projects, the co-ordination and discussion process within the priority program and a central meta-analysis of observational and experimental time-series data are required to identify general patterns and to distinguish them from site-specific and ecosystem-type- specific For that purpose, funding for a communication and co-ordination system within AQUASHIFT (2 workshops, co-ordinator's trips, homepage) and for a central meta-analysis are requested.
