Funds will partially support a conference "Critical Zone Science, Sustainability, and Services in a Changing World" that will bring together communities from the U.S. Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) network and the Chinese EcoPartnerships program for meaningful dialogue on the topic of Critical Zone science related to organic matter dynamics. The Critical Zone (CZ)is the Earth's surface layer extending from the top of the vegetation canopy to the base of ground water. The conference will occur in conjunction with the annual meeting of US-China Ecopartnership for Environmental Sustainability (USCEES) program, which will be jointly convened by Purdue University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences at Purdue University during Oct. 21-24, 2015. The U.S.-China Ecopartnership program is a network supported by the US Department of State and China National Development and Reform Commission to focus on the sustainable use of natural resources in a changing climate. In addition to the scientific exchange of ideas, the conference is an opportunity for enhanced student training and U.S.-China cultural exposure. Also, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese university scientific leadership within the USCEES will bring an important perspective of ecosystem network science in China and the possibility of standardization of metrics and methods to help assure transferable and directly comparable Critical Zone science outcomes for future US-China linked research.Four specific activities will take place as part of the conference: 1) an instrument training short course on "The Role of Runoff and Erosion on Soil Carbon Stocks: From Soilscapes to Landscapes"; 2) scientific sessions on critical zone function related to organic matter dynamics and budget; 3) Cross-CZO Working Group workshop on flux, stabilization, and reactivity of organic matter in the Critical Zone with the goal of discussing scientific findings, common measurements, common methods, common laboratories, common experiments, and common questions to support cross- U.S. CZO and international CZ science; and 4) a field trip to the CZO site in the Upper Sangamon watershed in Illinois.

资金将部分支持“不断变化的世界中的关键区域科学、可持续性和服务”会议，该会议将汇集美国关键区域天文台（CZO）网络和中国生态合作伙伴计划的社区，就关键区域科学主题进行有意义的对话与有机物动力学有关。临界区（CZ）是从植被冠层顶部延伸到地下水底部的地球表面层。 本次会议将与中美环境可持续发展生态伙伴关系（USCEES）项目年会同期举行，该年会由普渡大学和中国科学院于2015年10月21日至24日在普渡大学联合召开。美中生态合作伙伴计划是一个由美国国务院和中国国家发展和改革委员会支持的网络，重点关注气候变化下自然资源的可持续利用。 除了科学思想交流之外，这次会议也是加强学生培训和中美文化接触的机会。此外，中国科学院和中国大学在 USCEES 中的科学领导地位将为中国带来生态系统网络科学的重要视角以及衡量指标和方法标准化的可能性，以帮助确保未来美国关键区域科学成果的可转移和直接可比较。中国相关研究。作为会议的一部分，将开展四项具体活动：1）关于“径流和侵蚀对土壤碳库的作用：从土壤景观到景观”的仪器培训短期课程； 2）关于与有机物动态和预算相关的关键区域功能的科学会议； 3) 关于关键区域有机物的通量、稳定性和反应性的跨 CZO 工作组研讨会，目的是讨论科学发现、共同测量、共同方法、共同实验室、共同实验和共同问题，以支持跨美国研究。 CZO和国际CZ科学； 4) 对伊利诺伊州上桑加蒙流域的 CZO 现场进行实地考察。
