US-Eastern Europe Cooperative Research on Plant Ecology and Water Resource Management (Poland and Czechoslovakia)

美国-捷克斯洛伐克湿地植物生态学和水资源管理研究项目由威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的Michael S. Adams博士；捷克斯洛伐克Trebon捷克斯洛伐克科学院植物研究所的Jan Kvet博士；以及波兰科学院生态研究所的Tadeusz Traczyk博士。在这两个地点的研究将集中在湿地植物水杨曲属（Lythrum salicaria）的生态学上，并将阐明是什么因素使水杨曲属（Lythrum salicaria）成为北美湿地的成功入侵者，同时在欧洲保持早期演取物种。在特雷邦，其他工作将涉及生物指示，以便可能有助于制订新的管理办法，更好地保护捷克斯洛伐克的水资源。该生物系统项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和东欧的领先专家能够在共同感兴趣和有能力的领域结合互补的人才和汇集资源。

This US-Czechoslovakia research project in wetland plant ecology and water resources management is between Dr. Michael S. Adams of the University of Wisconsin-Madison; Dr. Jan Kvet of the Botanical Institute, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences at Trebon, Czechoslovakia; and Dr. Tadeusz Traczyk of the Institute of Ecology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Mikolajke, Poland. Research at these two sites will focus on the ecology of the wetland plant Lythrum salicaria, and will illuminate what factors allow Lythrum to be a successful invader of North American wetlands while remaining an early successional species in Europe. At Trebon, other efforts will address bioindication for potential contribution to formulation of new management practices that could better protect Czechoslovakia's water resources. This project in biotic systems fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and pool resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
