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，完善生态修复的科学基础。恢复生物学领域正在迅速发展，需要更强大的概念基础。恢复可能被认为是理解生态系统功能的实验工具，但恢复生态学所能做出的贡献的承诺尚未兑现。全国各地实际上有数千个修复项目，为在已准备好的场地上进行修复研究提供了很多机会。然而，研究人员合作的这些项目的数量仍然相对较少。研讨会的目标是鼓励更多的科学家撰写高质量的提案，增强修复研究的概念基础，并发展科学家和从业者之间的联系。一个主要主题是将修复的重点从轶事转变为科学方法。将分层组织为期两天的研讨会，讨论与恢复相关的有机体、群落、生态系统和景观层面的问题。该研讨会将确定恢复生物学是否存在独特的概念挑战。一个特别强调的领域是在实践者和理论家之间建立伙伴关系，以改善恢复生物学的实践和研究。 本次研讨会的主题恰逢其时，意义重大。研讨会的成果将是向 NSF 提交的一份关于提高和改善以恢复为导向的提案质量的机制的报告，以及一系列已发表的论文，以扩展研讨会上讨论的主题。
