ITEX, The International Tundra Experiment: An Implementation Workshop; Hickory Corners, MI, December 1990

该研讨会将规划国际冻土带实验(ITEX)。研讨会将汇集一个由经验丰富的北极植物学家和土壤生态学家组成的国际小组，以确定和设计一个简单的实验，这将有助于了解和预测气候变化对北极植物种群的影响。这一规划工作将有助于美国国家科学基金会的北极系统科学计划的陆地部分，并可能成为涉及其他关键生物分类群(如无脊椎动物、微生物和宝贵的生存物种)的进一步国际实验的典范。结果和建议将迅速和广泛地公布。

This workshop will plan the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX). The workshop will bring together an international group of experienced arctic botanists and soil ecologists to identify and design a simple experiment which will contribute to the understanding and prediction of the effects of climate change on arctic plant populations. This planning effort will contribute to the terrestrial component NSF's Arctic System Science Program and could serve as a model for further international experiments involving other critical biological taxa such as invertebrates, microorganisms and valuable subsistence species. The results and recommendations will be promptly and widely published.
