Collaborative Research: Center for Advanced Forestry Systems

扩大的先进林业系统产业/大学合作研究中心将连接美国四个顶级林业研究项目，并将扩大目前的树木遗传学中心，以巩固研究项目的优势，创建一个多大学、跨学科的I/UCRC，通过多方面的方法解决行业范围的问题。研究人员将在多个尺度上探讨问题，包括分子、细胞、个体树、林分和生态系统。该中心开展的研究将通过解决多时空尺度上的问题，确定超越传统物种、地区和学科界限的根本解决方案，提高林产产业和林地所有者的竞争力。

The expanded Industry/University Cooperative Research center for Advanced Forestry Systems will link four of the top forestry research programs in the US, and will expand the current Center for Tree Genetics to build on the strengths of the research programs to create a multi-university, interdisciplinary I/UCRC that will solve industry-wide problems through multi-faceted approaches. Researchers will approach questions on multiple scales, including the molecular, cellular, individual-tree, stand, and ecosystem. The research conducted by the center will increase the competitiveness of forest products industries and forest landowners by solving problems on multiple temporal and spatial scales and determining fundamental solutions that transcend traditional species, regional, and disciplinary boundaries.
