Project management and coordination for the European subprojects in the forest biodiversity ecosystem experiment BEF-China

在BEF-China的前两个阶段，中心项目Z1已经实现了比较研究地块（CSP）和主要实验的建立。除了管理一般行政和协调外，Z1项目还组织了重新种植，用金属标签标记所有树木，研究单位所有成员的旅行和住宿，在新岗山建立野外实验室。Z1负责三个气候站的运行，并为生态景观方法提供气候数据。此外，Z1还准备了新闻稿，计划了两次由所有欧洲和中国成员参加的全体大会，两次欧洲PI会议，两次专门为女性博士后和PI举办的研讨会，两次NILEx研讨会，一次统计课程和两次暑期学校，支持建立NILEx，使用无人机航拍照片重复进行遥感，并对所有树木进行了全面的地面普查。此外，Z1维护和扩展了实验地点的地理信息系统（GIS），从而为所有SP的所有测量提供了最新的乔木和灌木位置。最后，Z1在实验设计和先导实验的综合工作中处于领先地位。在研究单元的第三阶段，中央项目Z1将继续这些管理任务。一个新的任务将是建立，管理和评估一个新的实验，修改生物多样性生态系统功能关系（BEFmod）和建立近红外光谱（NIRS）在新岗山的现场实验室。

In the first two phases of BEF-China, the Central project Z1 has realized the establishment of the Comparative Study Plots (CSPs) and of the Main Experiment. Beside managing the general administration and coordination, the Z1 project has organized the replanting, labelling of all trees with metal tags, the travel and accommodation of all members of the Research Unit, the establishment of the field labs in Xingangshan. Z1 run the three climate stations and provide climate data for the Ecoscape approach.In addition, Z1 prepared press releases, planned two full all assemblies with all European and Chinese members, two European PI meetings, two workshops exclusively for female postdocs and PIs, two NILEx workshops, one statistics course and two summer schools, supported the establishment of the NILEx, repeated the remote sensing using drone-based aerial photographs and conducted a full ground census of all trees. In addition, Z1 maintained and extended the geographical information system (GIS) of the experimental sites, and thus, thus provided upto date tree and shrub positions for all measurements of all SPs. Finally, Z1 took the lead in synthesis work on the design of the experiment and the Pilot Experiment.In the third phase of the Research Unit, the Central project Z1 will continue with these management tasks. A new task will be the establishment, management and evaluation of a new experiment on modifying the Biodiversity-Ecosystem Functioning relationship (BEFmod) and the establishment of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the field lab in Xingangshan.
