Support for BIOGEOMON: The Fifth International Symposium on Ecosystem Behaviour

该奖项将部分支持生态系统科学国际会议，其重点是生物地球化学，即土壤和生态系统其他组成部分的化学和生物学。它将探索这一领域的新领域和未来方向。虽然会议将在美国举行，但将有国际科学家组成的重要队伍参加。美国国家科学基金会的支持将促进来自发展中国家的学生和研究人员出席会议。

This award will partially support an international conference on Ecosystem science with an emphasis on biogeochemistry, i.e., the chemistry and biology of soils and other components of ecosystems. It will explore new frontiers and future directions in this field. Though the conference will be held in the U.S., there will be an important contingent of international scientists involved. The NSF support will facilitate the attendance of students and researchers from developing countries in the conference.
