ABSTRACT OPP-9214970 SEDINGER This project seeks to develop a dynamic model to describe the potential impact of climate variation on the tropic structure of a coastal Alaskan ecosystem by assessing the degree to which climate change influences habitat structure and availability with the population dynamics of a colonially nesting bird, the Pacific brant. The area of study, the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, has been traditionally exploited by Yup'ik people and geese are a seasonally important resource. A parallel study of native oral history will be conducted in order to access traditional knowledge of the ecology of this region.

摘要 OPP-9214970 SEDINGER 该项目旨在开发一个动态模型，通过评估气候变化影响栖息地结构和可用性以及殖民地人口动态的程度，来描述气候变化对阿拉斯加沿海生态系统热带结构的潜在影响。筑巢鸟，太平洋布兰特。研究区域是育空-库斯科奎姆三角洲，传统上一直由尤皮克人开发，鹅是季节性的重要资源。还将对当地口述历史进行并行研究，以获取该地区生态的传统知识。
