Research Facility Enhancement at the Louis Calder Center of Fordham University

该项目将加强路易斯 考尔德中心，一个占地113英亩的福德姆生物野外站 大学 由于它靠近主要的大都市地区 产于美国东北部， 东部落叶森林生物群落（成熟的高地和低地森林， 演替早期的草地和森林，湖泊、池塘和 溪流栖息地）及其实验室设施，考尔德中心 为生态学研究提供了极好的机会。 的 一个项目是新的仪器，以获得长期的天气 和小气候数据集。 这个项目 补充了福德姆大学最近的其他支出， 加强考尔德中心的研究计划， 这对项目的未来发展至关重要。

This project will enhance the research facilities at the Louis Calder Center, a 113 acre biological field station of Fordham University. Because of its proximity to major metropolitan areas of the northeastern United States, its diverse habitats of the eastern deciduous fores biome (mature upland and lowland forests, early successional grassland and forests, and lake, pond and stream habitats) and its laboratory facilities, the Calder Center offers excellent opportunities for ecological research. The project is for new instrumentation to acquire long-term weather and microclimate data sets at the Calder Center. This project complements other recent expenditures by Fordham University to enhance the research program at the Calder Center, and is important for future growth of the program.
