Workshop on National Needs for Controlled Environments in the Disciplines of Biology, Ecology and Environmental Sciences; February 21-25, 1993; Lake Tahoe, CA

本次研讨会将有助于确定生物学、生态学和环境科学等一系列学科未来对受控环境设施的需求，从生理生态学到全球气候变化再到人类支持系统。研讨会将涉及来自联邦机构（40%）学术界（46%）和私营部门（16%）的约40名参与者，他们将累计代表受控环境是关键研究设施的学科范围。讲习班的一个主要焦点将是植物和生态科学在其中发挥重要作用的新调查领域，即景观生态学和大气/地圈/生物圈界面的生物地球化学。

This workshop will help identify the future needs for controlled environment facilities across a spectrum of disciplines in biology, ecology and environmental sciences, from physiological ecology, to global climate change to human support systems. The workshop will involve approximately 40 participants from federal agencies (40%) academia (46%) and the private sector (16%), cumulatively representing the spectrum of disciplines for which controlled environments are critical research facilities. A major focus of the workshop will be new areas of investigation in which the plant and ecological sciences play a significant role, i.e., landscape ecology, and biogeochemistry at atmosphere/geosphere/ biosphere interface.
