Workshop: Scaling Processes Between Leaf and Landscape Levels; Snowbird, Utah; December 2-5, 1990

一个与陆地生态系统中水、碳和能量交换有关的生态尺度的时空方面的研讨会将于1990年12月2日至5日在犹他州雪鸟举行。它将重点放在叶水平的生态生理过程、整个植物、群落、生态系统和全球之间的比例。规模问题主导并制约了生态生理学对全球变化研究的贡献。然而，很明显，生态生理学家的主要兴趣在于机械性的、过程层面的研究，他们没有充分考虑到他们的学科和其他对这些过程在更广泛的地理和更长的时间尺度上的分支感兴趣的人之间的联系。该讲习班将汇聚生态生理学家、生态学家、生物气象学家、生态系统生态学家和遥感专家，他们对尺度的挑战感兴趣，以满足将过程一级的利益和全球规模的利益联系起来的迫切需要。在内容和形式上，这次讲习班将着眼于制定范例和促进必要的联系，以确定生态生理学在新兴的地球系统科学领域中的作用。

A workshop on spatial and temporal aspects of ecological scaling as they relate to exchanges of water, carbon, and energy in terrestrial ecosystems will be conducted at Snowbird, Utah from December 2-5, 1990. It will focus on scaling between leaf-level ecophysiological processes, the whole plant, the community, the ecosystem, and the globe. Issues of scale dominate and constrain the contributions of ecophysiology to global change research. Yet it is evident that ecophysiologists, whose primary interests lie in mechanistic, process-level studies, have not adequately considered linkages between their disciplines and others interested in the ramifications of these processes at broader geographical and longer temporal scales. This workshop will bring together ecophysiologists, ecologists, biometeorologists, ecosystem ecologists, and remote sensing specialists interested in the challenge of scaling to meet the critical need of linking process- level and global scale interests. In content and format, this workshop will be geared toward formulating the paradigms and facilitating the contacts necessary to establish the role of ecophysiology in the emerging field of earth system science.
