We want to develop an integrated network of permanent plots in Brazil that can monitor forest biodiversity and carbon fluxes through the 21st century in which its natural systems will be increasingly stressed and challenged by climate change. This project will take an important step towards this ambitious goal. Amazonia is vast, so conducting even basic research is challenging. Monitoring ecosystems here requires scientific leadership, vision, and large networks in which researchers apply standardised techniques on-the-ground at many locations. Training must be integrated into the research process to create capacity and assure long-term continuity of monitoring. This project will build on the successes of the pan-Amazon forest monitoring network (RAINFOR- Rede Amazônica de Inventários Florestais- led by Phillips) by linking with the leading pan-Brazilian biodiversity monitoring network (PPBio).RAINFOR works with 400 permanent plots and has made several major scientific discoveries in Amazonia and developed unique software ("ForestPlots.net") to help tropical partners analyse plot data. But due to poor plot coverage in Brazil, RAINFOR cannot yet provide good estimates of forest carbon balance and dynamics fluxes in Brazil. Meanwhile, PPBio has developed a unique biodiversity assessment protocol and applied it across Brazil with more than 30 institutional partners. However few plots - almost all from one site - have been re-measured for vegetation change.The proposal therefore takes a step towards addressing the needs of both partners. Together we will (1) share techniques and train local participants, (2) recensus 30 PPBio plots in a huge spatial gap, and (3) train young scientists to process, share, and analyse the data using the global protocols of ForestPlots.net. In detail, we plan to:1. Conduct a hands-on field course to prepare teams to conduct forest monitoring. This will be based in a rural community where PPBio has already invested in plots. The course will teach skills for plant collection, identification and measurement. Young rural community participants will work with ecologists from Brazil and UK. This provides an opportunity to experiment with forest monitoring - sharing protocols, identifying capacities and leaders, and training in technical data collection skills. Key participants will also be involved in the main fieldwork phase (activity 2), and in the data management and analysis workshop (activity 3), with the project helping provide marginalised rural people with new skills.2. Remeasure 30 plots along the BR-319 road from Manaus to Porto Velho. BR-319 cuts an 850km transect through the least known forests in Amazonia, a true 'black hole' for biogeochemical and biodiversity science. PPBio has established a series of 111 plots along this road. This project will undertake the first recensuses of plots along this transect, providing the first information on forest dynamics and carbon fluxes from the heart of Brazil's Amazon.3. Joint workshop to train participants in data management and analysis. We will use ForestPlots.net to help partners manage and analyse information from their plots. The workshop will include scientists, students, and rural people from Amazonian Brazil, lasting 8 days plus one rest day. Biodiversity and forest dynamics data will be integrated into ForestPlots.net, to ensure that PPBio data are carefully checked and comparable internationally. Analysis will involve training in the calculations of carbon stock, carbon balance, vegetation dynamics, biodiversity, and interpreting the rich information on useful Amazon forest species within ForestPlots.net, using an R-package which RAINFOR has developed with NERC support. In turn, participants will feedback and educate the RAINFOR/ForestPlots.net team to determine specific user requirements to make information in the future more accessible, interpretable, and useful for forest researchers, forest dwellers, and forest users.

我们希望在巴西建立一个永久性地块的综合网络，可以在21世纪监测森林生物多样性和碳通量，因为在21世纪，巴西的自然系统将受到气候变化的越来越大的压力和挑战。该项目将朝着这一雄心勃勃的目标迈出重要的一步。亚马逊地区幅员辽阔，因此即使是进行基础研究也是具有挑战性的。监测这里的生态系统需要科学的领导力、远见和大型网络，研究人员在许多地点应用标准化技术。必须将培训纳入研究进程，以建立能力并确保监测的长期连续性。该项目将借鉴泛亚马逊森林监测网络(由Phillips领导的RAINFOR-Rede Amazônica de inventários Florestais)的成功经验，与领先的泛巴西生物多样性监测网络(PPBio)建立联系。RAINFOR处理400块永久性地块，在亚马逊地区取得了几项重大科学发现，并开发了独特的软件(“ForestPlots.net”)，帮助热带伙伴分析地块数据。但由于巴西的地块覆盖率很低，RAINFOR还不能很好地估计巴西的森林碳平衡和动态通量。与此同时，PPBio制定了一种独特的生物多样性评估协议，并与30多个机构合作伙伴将其应用于巴西各地。然而，几乎没有几块土地--几乎全部来自同一地点--重新测量了植被的变化。因此，该提案朝着满足双方的需求迈出了一步。我们将共同(1)分享技术并培训当地参与者，(2)在巨大的空间缺口中重新调查30个PPBio地块，(3)培训年轻科学家使用ForestPlots.net的全球协议处理、共享和分析数据。具体来说，我们计划：1。开展实地实践课程，为开展森林监测工作的团队做准备。这将以一个农村社区为基础，PPBio已经在那里投资了地块。该课程将教授植物采集、鉴定和测量的技能。年轻的农村社区参与者将与来自巴西和英国的生态学家合作。这为试验森林监测共享议定书、确定能力和领导人以及培训技术数据收集技能提供了机会。主要参与者还将参与主要实地工作阶段(活动2)和数据管理和分析讲习班(活动3)，该项目将帮助被边缘化的农村人口掌握新技能。重新测量从马瑙斯到韦尔霍港的BR-319公路沿线的30块土地。BR-319横切了一条850公里长的横断面，穿过亚马逊地区最鲜为人知的森林，对于生物地球化学和生物多样性科学来说，这是一个真正的“黑洞”。PPBio在这条路上建立了一系列111块地块。该项目将对该样带沿线的地块进行首次复垦，提供有关巴西亚马逊河腹地森林动态和碳通量的第一批信息。联合举办讲习班，培训学员进行数据管理和分析。我们将使用ForestPlots.net帮助合作伙伴管理和分析其地块中的信息。研讨会将包括来自亚马孙巴西的科学家、学生和农村居民，为期8天外加1个休息日。生物多样性和森林动态数据将被整合到ForestPlots.net中，以确保PPBio数据经过仔细检查并在国际上进行比较。分析将包括培训碳储量、碳平衡、植被动态、生物多样性的计算，并使用RAINFOR在NERC支持下开发的R-包，解释ForestPlots.net中关于有用的亚马逊森林物种的丰富信息。反过来，参与者将对RAINFOR/ForestPlots.net团队进行反馈和教育，以确定具体的用户要求，使未来的信息对森林研究人员、森林居民和森林用户更容易获得、更容易理解和更有用。
