U.S.-China Joint Workshop: Ecological Complexity and Ecosystem Services on Opportunities for China - USA Collaboration

0228894 Elser这是由亚利桑那州立大学的James Elser博士提议的美国和中国联合举办的关于生态复杂性和生态系统服务的研讨会。研讨会将使美国和中国在生物复杂性和生态系统服务方面的研究人员在一系列旨在建立国际合作和交流网络的互动中汇聚一堂。美国和中国的组织者将于2002年11月举行初步会晤，一个由12名科学家组成的美国代表团将于2003年春季访问中国。这一提议的智力价值是突出的。生态系统服务领域正在成为基础研究的一个主题。拟议的合作活动将有利于生态科学及其对复杂生态/经济系统管理的贡献。中国科学院、中国国家自然科学基金委员会和国家自然科学基金委员会将共同支持合作活动。

0228894ElserThis is a U.S.-China joint workshop proposed by Dr. James Elser, Arizona State University, on ecological complexity and ecosystem services. The workshop will bring together American and Chinese researchers in biocomplexity and ecosystem services in a series of interactions designed to establish a network of international collaboration and exchange. A preliminary meeting between U.S. and Chinese organizers will be held in November, 2002, and a U.S. delegation of 12 scientists will visit China in spring, 2003.The intellectual merit of this proposal is outstanding. The area of ecosystem services is emerging as a topic for fundamental research. The proposed collaborative activities would benefit ecological science and its contribution to the management of complex ecological/economic systems. The Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and NSF will jointly support the cooperative activities.
