ROW: Resistance and Resilience of Subalpine Wetlands with Respect to Changes in Hydrological Regime

预计加州内华达山脉亚高山湿地将因引水和预测的气候变化而发生水文变化。这个项目将检验对水位变化的抵抗力和恢复力。这将通过监测太浩湖附近一个小沼泽中植物和社区对不断变化的水位的反应，以及对可以改变和控制水状况的集装箱植物进行一系列生态学研究来完成。将在田间和花园中采用各种植物资源和性能测量方法。

It is anticipated that subalpine wetlands in the Sierra Nevada of California will be subjected to hydrological change as a result of water divertion and predicted climate change. This project will examine the resistance and resilience to changing water levels. This will be done by monitoring plant and community responses to changing water levels in a small marsh adjacent to lake Tahoe and by a series of autecological studies of containerized plants for which the water regime can be varied and controlled. A variety of measures of plant resource and performance will be followed both in the field and gardens.
