9628763 Allen A workshop will be convened to improve the scientific basis of ecological restoration. The field of restoration biology is growing rapidly and is in need of a stronger conceptual basis. Restoration may be considered an experimental tool for understanding functioning of ecological systems, but the promise of the contribution restoration ecology can make has not been fulfilled. There are literally thousands of restoration projects throughout the country, with many opportunities for restoration research on already-prepared sites. However, the number of these projects in which researchers collaborate remains relatively small. The goals of the workshop are to encourage more scientists to write high quality proposals, enhance the conceptual basis of restoration research, and develop linkages between scientists and practitioners. A major theme is changing the emphasis in restoration from an anecdotal to a scientific approach. A two-day workshop will be organized hierarchically to discuss organismal, community, ecosystem, and landscape level issues relevant o restoration. The workshop will determine if there are conceptual challenges to restoration that are unique to restoration biology. A special area of emphasis will be building partnerships between practitioners and theorists to improve the practice and research in restoration biology. The topic of this workshop is timely and important. The products of the workshop will be a report to NSF regarding mechanisms to increase and improve the quality of restoration oriented proposals, and a set of published paper to expand upon the themes discussed at the workshop.

9628763 Allen将召开研讨会，以改善生态恢复的科学基础。恢复生物学领域正在迅速增长，需要更强的概念基础。恢复可能被认为是理解生态系统功能的实验工具，但是尚未实现贡献恢复生态的承诺。实际上，全国有成千上万的恢复项目，在已经准备好的网站上进行了许多恢复研究的机会。但是，研究人员合作的这些项目数量仍然相对较小。研讨会的目标是鼓励更多的科学家编写高质量的建议，增强恢复研究的概念基础，并建立科学家与从业者之间的联系。一个主要主题是将恢复的重点从轶事转变为科学方法。为期两天的研讨会将在层次上组织，以讨论有机物，社区，生态系统和景观水平问题相关的o恢复。研讨会将确定恢复生物学所独有的概念挑战是否存在。重点的特殊领域将是建立从业者和理论家之间的伙伴关系，以改善恢复生物学的实践和研究。 该研讨会的主题及时和重要。该研讨会的产品将是向NSF的报告，介绍了提高和改善面向恢复提案质量的机制，以及一套发表的论文，以扩展在研讨会上讨论的主题。
