This proposal is for a workshop to address scientific, technical, and organizational issues that pertain to launching USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN). Science issues to be addressed at this workshop include the selection and prioritization of appropriate plant species and events to observe, and development of observation protocols. The participants will formalize a standardized web-based reporting system for observers and develop a data management plan. The workshop will address organizational issues including observations site location, plans for public participation, and cooperative agreements with existing sites and networks. Intellectual Merits of the Workshop: The USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN) is an emerging partnership among academic communities, federal agencies, and volunteers. An Implementation Team (IT) consisting of 28 scientists spanning multiple disciplines, institutions and related environmental networks has been established. The four observation tiers, represent different levels of spatial coverage and quality/quantity of phenological and related environmental information: 1) Locally intensive sites focused on process studies; 2) Spatially extensive scientific networks focused on large-scale phenomena; 3) Volunteer and Education Networks; and 4) Remote sensing products that can be ground-truthed and assimilated to extend surface phenological observations to the continental-scale. This second workshop will provide an essential component to: 1) Inform and guide final NPN design and implementation with sound science; 2) Finalize initial species and protocols for data collection by students, citizen-scientists, and scientists, starting in spring 2007, including lists of target species representative of the Nation's ecoregions and customized for each of four network tiers; 3) Plan initially needed web resources; 4) Develop an initial data management plan; and 5) Draft initial cooperative agreements for co-location at existing sites and networks. Broader Impacts: USA-NPN is a unique opportunity to increase collaboration between federal agencies and the academic community, to facilitate and recruit public participation in the study and understanding of Nature, and to serve public needs in Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Health, Recreation, and Natural Resources. The USA-NPN will actively support exchange and training programs for students and researchers from participating organizations, as well as participation by students, citizens, and scientists from under-represented communities in all network activities. The USA-NPN is committed to substantial participation from members of the public as citizen-scientist phenological observers.

该建议是为了解决与启动美国国家物候网（USA-NPN）有关的科学，技术和组织问题的研讨会。在本研讨会上要解决的科学问题包括选择和优先考虑适当的植物物种和事件以观察和开发观察方案。参与者将为观察者制定基于标准化的基于Web的报告系统，并制定数据管理计划。研讨会将解决组织问题，包括观察站点位置，公众参与计划以及与现有站点和网络的合作协议。研讨会的智力优点：美国国家物候网络（USA-NPN）是学术社区，联邦机构和志愿者之间的新兴合作伙伴关系。已经建立了由28个科学家组成的实施团队（IT），这些科学家已经建立了跨越多个学科，机构和相关环境网络的实施团队。这四个观察层代表了不同水平的空间覆盖范围以及物候和相关环境信息的质量/数量：1）专注于过程研究的本地密集型站点； 2）集中在大规模现象上的空间广泛的科学网络； 3）志愿者和教育网络； 4）遥感产品可以经过经过经过经过经验并同化，以将表面物候观测扩展到大陆尺度。第二个研讨会将提供一个重要组成部分：1）通过合理的科学告知和指导最终的NPN设计和实施； 2）从2007年春季开始，最终确定学生，公民科学家和科学家的数据收集的初始物种和协议，其中包括代表国家生态区的目标物种清单，并针对四个网络层中的每一个定制； 3）计划最初需要的网络资源； 4）制定初始数据管理计划； 5）在现有站点和网络共同授权的初始合作协议草案。更广泛的影响：USA-NPN是增加联邦机构与学术界之间的合作，促进和招募公众参与研究和理解自然的独特机会，并满足公众在农业，商业，教育，健康，娱乐和自然资源方面的需求。 USA-NPN将积极支持参与组织的学生和研究人员的交流和培训计划，以及来自代表性不足社区的学生，公民和科学家的参与。美国-NPN致力于作为公民科学观察者的公众大量参与。
