Central Services - Coordination and Administration

中心项目Z2负责研究单位的管理工作。这包括：(i)管理欧洲科学基金会研究站（Estacion Científica San Francisco），并与当地工作人员和对应人员合作，管理集体科学和后勤基础设施；管理共同财政，以支付该站的租金（25个工作地点和床位）、项目车辆、科学设备和当地工作人员（司机、工人、学生助手、受训人员）的工资；研究股全球预算的配给，其中包括成员的旅费和共同使用实验室设备和材料（例如肥料）的经费；（四）促进研究股各项目之间的交流与合作。中央事务项目的第二个主要目标是在数据仓库存放的数据的基础上促进联合出版。特别是将促进以生态系统功能和稳定性为目标的天气性工作。这类综合研究将解决3个主要目标：(1)生态系统功能和调节服务；(2)提供生态系统服务——确定旧金山谷的最佳可持续土地利用管理；(3)全球和地方环境变化对保护和调节服务的相互作用和影响。

The central project Z2 is responsible for the administration of the Research Unit. This encompasses: (i) running the ECSF research station (Estacion Científica San Francisco) and taking care of the collective scientific and logistic infrastructure in cooperation with the local staff and the counterparts; (ii) administration of the common finances for rent of the station (25 work places and beds), for the project cars, the scientific equipment, and payment of local staff (drivers, workers, student helpers, trainees); (iii) rationing of the global budget of the Research Unit, which encompasses travelling cost of the members and funds for jointly used laboratory equipment and materials (e.g. fertilizer); (iv) fostering the communication and cooperation between the individual projects of the Research Unit. A second major goal of the Central Services project is to stimulate joint publications on the basis of the data deposited in the data warehouse. In particular synoptic work will be promoted targeting ecosystem functioning and stability. This kind of synthetic research will address 3 main objectives: (1) Ecosystem functioning and regulating services, (2) provisioning ecosystem services – pinpointing the optimal sustainable land use management for the San Francisco Valley and (3) interactions and impacts of global and local environmental changes on preserving and regulating services.
