Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for FY 1997

DBI 9750214大卫·胡珀这一行动资助了美国国家科学基金会1997年与环境相关的生物科学博士后研究奖学金。这一奖学金为研究员提供了一个在博士学位之外获得额外科学培训的机会，并在任何生物领域的分子、细胞、组织、种群、社区和/或生态系统层面上以创新和富有想象力的方式探索生物体与其环境之间相互作用的基本机制，这一领域得到了国家科学基金会生物科学局的支持。每个研究金资助一项研究和培训计划，该计划将在一个赞助实验室进行。该研究金的研究和培训计划名为“北极冻土带植物对气候变化的碳储存”。这项研究调查了温度对植物总生产力的直接影响，以及养分的有效性作为间接影响。GASFLUX和MBL/CSA两个模式对不同北极植物群落的通量测量的预测进行了比较。这些模型的差异将被用来更好地理解植物功能特征如何控制冻土带生态系统的碳平衡。

Abstract DBI 9750214 David Hooper This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for 1997. This fellowship provides an opportunity for the Fellow to gain additional scientific training beyond the doctoral degree and to pursue innovative and imaginative into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the interactions between organisms and their environment at the molecular, cellular, organismal, population, community and/or ecosystem level in any area of biology supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences of the National Science Foundation. Each fellowship supports a research and training plan to be carried out in a sponsoring laboratory. The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "Storage of carbon in arctic tundra plants in response to climatic change." The research is investigates temperature as a direct effect and nutrient availability as an indirect effect on plant gross productivity. Predictions of flux measurements from 2 models, GASFLUX and MBL/CSA, are being compared for different arctic plant communities. The differences in these models will be exploited to better understand how plant functional traits control the carbon balance in the tundra ecosystem.
