Growth chamber for enhanced forest management

受控生长设施为研究人员提供了在实验定义的条件下种植植物的机会，而这些条件在实地无法实现。 拟议购买的步入式生长室将为我们提供一个机会，在未来几十年内进行广泛的生态和生态生理学研究。 其中包括：本论文的主要内容包括：针叶树的营养与落叶的相互作用;白杨无性系嫁接根的功能;白杨幼苗发育的控制因素;白杨生长和形态与森林帐篷毛虫落叶事件的相互作用;林下树种对不同光照强度和温度的生理生态学关系;外生菌根真菌在不同条件下的生长作用。 在未来的几十年里，每年至少有3名年轻科学家能够使用这个生长室提出创新的研究问题。

Controlled growth facilities offer researchers the opportunity to grow plants in experimentally defined conditions that cannot be achieved in the field.  The proposed purchase of a walk-in growth chamber will provide us with an opportunity to execute a wide range of ecological and ecophysiological studies over the next decades.  These include: interactions of feathermosses with the nutrition of boreal conifers; the functionality of root grafts in aspen clones; the factors controlling the development of aspen seedlings; interactions of aspen growth and morphology with defoliation events of forest tent caterpillars; the ecophysiology of understory species in relation to different light intensity and temperature and the growth role of ectomycorrhizal fungi under different conditions.  The growth chamber will be used 365 days a year and at least 3 young scientists per year will be able to use this chamber to ask innovative research questions over the coming decades.
