A changing climate in the oceanic mountains; the role of foodweb ecology in the response of belowground functions.

这个项目为我提供了一个很好的机会，发展各种领域的技能，在植物，无脊椎动物和微生物科学。我很高兴能利用这些技能来调查气候变化对湖区生态的影响，因为如果没有这项研究，我们就无法理解和减轻这些生态系统在未来几十年将如何变化。作为一个狂热的徒步旅行者，在湖区学习是一个令人难以置信的机会，因为这个项目提供了与其他组织合作的机会，因为我追求生态学的研究生涯。

This project provides an excellent opportunity for me to develop a variety of field skills in plant, invertebrate and microbial science. I am excited to use these skills to investigate the effects of climate change on Lake District ecology, as without this research we are unable to understand and mitigate how these ecosystems will change over the coming decades. As an avid hiker, studying in the Lake District is an incredible opportunity, as are the chances this project provides to collaborate with other organisations as I pursue a research career in ecology.
