The Fifth Cary Conference: "Linking Species and Ecosystems;" Millbrook, NY; May 8-12, 1993

长期以来，种群、群落和生态系统生态学的传统分支学科一直代表着陆地和水生生态研究的不同途径。鉴于未来迫切的环境需求，这些分支学科的专家之间的互动和合作变得势在必行。本次会议的目的将集中在人口、社区和生态系统生态之间的界面。这次会议的基本目标是将这些分支学科的专家聚集在一起，解决存在于人口、社区和生态系统生态学之间的问题和问题。与会者将面临挑战，将他们的思维扩展到他们自己的子学科之外，以鼓励新研究的整合和发展。会议记录将以书籍形式出版。%这次会议是一个重要的、及时的、具有成本效益的论坛，讨论和传播关于这些分支学科整合的信息。

The traditional subdisciplines of population, community, and ecosystem ecology have long represented separate avenues for research in terrestrial and aquatic ecology. Given the pressing environmental needs of the future, interaction and cooperation between specialists in these subdisciplines becomes imperative. The purpose of this conference will be to focus on the interface between population, community, and ecosystem ecology. The fundamental goal of this conference is to bring together specialists in these subdisciplines to address questions and issues that lie at the interfaces of population, community, and ecosystem ecology. Attendees will be challenged to expand their thinking beyond their own subdisciplines to encourage integration and development of new research. Proceedings will be published in book form. %%% This conference is an important, timely, and cost-effective forum for discussion and dissemination of information on the integration of these subdisciplines.
