OPUS: Terrestrial carbon in Aquatic Ecosystems: A snythesis

在一篇著名的文章中，S.A.福布斯（1887）把湖泊比作自我维持的小宇宙。虽然这种微观世界的观点一直存在，但不同的研究表明，湖泊的新陈代谢，碳储存，甚至食物网都与陆地流域的补贴有关。这些联系影响到各区域甚至地球仪的碳平衡。这一区域是成熟的合成，它将把上面不同的线编织成一个有凝聚力的布。OPUS提案的主要活动是完成一本关于内陆沃茨和碳循环的书。这本书即将完成，将在德国奥尔登多夫的Inter-Research出版公司的生态学卓越系列中出版。 这OPUS赠款将允许一个安静的，资助的时间来完成这本书，并产生两个主题的评论文章适量。这本书本身是一个更广泛的影响，因为它将使PI的角度对陆地支持的水生系统提供给更广泛的生态学家。ECI图书系列在向更大的生态社区推广这些书籍方面做得很好。此外，PI还拥有大量尚未纳入任何正式数据管理系统的数据。PI将花费部分时间组织这些数据，然后将其提供给公众。科尔将在卡里的广播节目“地球智慧”中使用这种合成的材料，这是一个每天在WAMC播出的一分钟的节目，为公众报道环境话题。最后，科尔将利用他对哈德逊河食物网的陆地支持的工作来增强卡里计划“改变哈德逊”，该项目使用一条大河来教授教师和K-12学生生态系统生态学。此外，科尔将贡献材料卡里的双周专栏，“生态焦点”在波基普西杂志。

In a famous essay, S.A. Forbes (1887) likened lakes to self-sustaining microcosms. While this micrcosm view has persisted, disparate research shows that the metabolism, carbon storage, and even food webs of lakes are linked to subsidies from their terrestrial watersheds. These linkages affects the carbon balance of regions and even the globe. This area is ripe synthesis which will weave the disparate threads above into a cohesive cloth. The main activity in this OPUS proposal is to complete a book on Inland Waters and the Carbon Cycle. The book, which is nearly finished, will be published in the Excellence in Ecology Series of the Inter-Research Publishing Company in Oldendorf, Germany. This OPUS grant will allow a modest amount of quiet, funded time to complete this book and produce two review articles on the topic. The book itself is a broader impact in that it will make the PIs perspective on terrestrial support of aquatic systems available to a broader range of ecologists. The ECI Book Series does a good job of promoting these books to the larger ecological community. Additionally, the PI has a great deal of data that is not yet in any formal data management system. The PI will spend part of his time organizing these data and then making them available to the public. Cole will use material from this synthesis in Cary's radio program "Earth Wise", a one minute spot that airs daily on WAMC and covers environmental topics for the public. Finally, Cole will use his work on terrestrial support of the Hudson River Food web to augment the Cary program "Changing Hudson", a project that uses one large river to teach both teachers and K-12 students about ecosystem ecology. Further Cole will contribute material to Cary's bi-weekly column, "Eco-focus" in the Poughkeepsie Journal.
