Global Ecosystems Dynamics: Comparison of Terrestrial and Marine Systems

作为基金会全球地球科学倡议的一部分，全球生态系统动力学试图了解控制大气成分、气候和元素循环的物理和生物过程之间的相互关系，这些过程对生物圈具有结构性影响。水生和陆地系统中的生态系统可能以截然不同的方式响应物理强迫，相反，不同系统中的响应可能具有很大的共性。到目前为止，陆地和海洋部门在很大程度上是分开考虑的，因此相似和不同只是猜测。该讲习班得到海洋科学和生物系统与资源司的支持，以审议在陆地、淡水和海洋系统中从地方到全球范围内的生态系统研究的理论和实践整合。

As part of the Foundation's Global Geosciences Intiative, Global Ecosystems Dynamics seeks to understand inter relationships between the physical and biological processing governing atmospheric composition, climate, and elemental circulation that have structuring effects on the biosphere. Ecosystems in aquatic and terrestrial systems may respond tophysical forcing in drastically different ways, converesly, responses in different systems may have substantial commonalities. To date, terrestrial and marine sectors have, for the most part, been considered separately, therefore similarities and differences are only conjectural. This workshop is supported by the Divisions of Ocean Sciences and Biotic Systems and Resources to considerbtheoretical and practical integration of ecosystems studies at local to global scales in terrestrial, freshwater and marine systrms.
