Inter-American Institute Program for Temperate Terrestrial Ecology; Workshops to Develop Scientific and Implementation Plans

9319330布拉德肖为两个国际讲习班提供了支助，这些讲习班将制定工作计划，以确定全球范围环境变化的原因和影响。 这些讲习班将在美洲全球变化研究所的主持下举行。 IAI科学家已经确定，研究温带陆地生态系统是一个高度优先事项，因为它们的生态，经济和社会学的重要性。 需要进行环境研究，以确定北美和南美温带陆地生态系统在全球变化模式和过程方面的异同。 一个名为美洲半球间地球生物圈组织的现有国际生态学协会工作组将举办第一次讲习班，以制定研究这些生态系统的工作计划，第二次讲习班将侧重于工作计划的执行。 该项目正在与NOAA的全球变化研究方案合作进行。 ***

9319330 Bradshaw Support is provided for two international workshops that will develop work plans for defining the causes and effects of global scale environmental change. The workshops are to he held under the auspices of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change (IAI). IAI scientists have determined that studying temperate terrestrial ecosystems is a high priority because of their ecological, economic, and sociological importance. Environmental research is needed to define similarities and differences between North and South America temperate terrestrial ecosystems with regard to global change patterns and processes. An existing IAI working group known as America's Interhemisphere Geo-biosphere Organization (AMIGO) will conduct an initial workshop to develop a work plan for studying these ecosystems, and a second workshop will focus on implementation of the workplan. This project is being run in cooperation with NOAA's Global Change Research Program. ***
