Soils are the central organizing entities in terrestrial ecosystems and possess extremely diverse prokaryotic and eukaryotic biota. They are physically and chemically complex as well, with micro- and macro-aggregates embedded within a solid-liquid and gaseous matrix that is continually changing in response to natural and human-induced perturbations. Recent advances in molecular techniques in systematics provide opportunities for the study of biodiversity and biocomplexity of soil biota. The workshop as proposed builds on these opportunities to address soil biodiversity, focusing particularly on the application of molecular methods for its measurement. The workshop will include presentation of jointly authored papers, each followed by working groups led by Taiwanese and North American scientists. The Taiwanese government will provide support for all Taiwanese participants and all local housing and per diem costs, transportation, etc., for the foreign participants. NSF funding will be jointly provided by the Ecosystem Studies Program and the Office of International Programs, and will be applied to international travel costs for 10 senior and 5-6 junior (postdoctoral) participants from the United States. Also invited are a few colleagues from Canada and the Antipodes (Australia and New Zealand), who will provide their own travel funding.

土壤是陆地生态系统的中心组织实体，拥有极其多样化的原核和真核生物群。它们在物理和化学上也很复杂，微观和宏观聚集体嵌入固液和气态基质中，该基质随着自然和人类引起的扰动而不断变化。 系统学分子技术的最新进展为土壤生物群的生物多样性和生物复杂性的研究提供了机会。拟议的研讨会以这些机会为基础，解决土壤生物多样性问题，特别关注分子方法在测量中的应用。研讨会将包括共同撰写的论文的展示，随后由台湾和北美科学家领导的工作组进行。台湾政府将为所有台湾参赛者提供支持，并为外国参赛者提供所有当地住房、每日生活费用、交通等支持。 NSF 资金将由生态系统研究项目和国际项目办公室联合提供，用于支付来自美国的 10 名高级参与者和 5-6 名初级（博士后）参与者的国际旅费。还邀请了一些来自加拿大和澳大利亚和新西兰的同事，他们将提供自己的旅行资金。
