New networks of agricultural and wild/natural research sites – including the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), the Long-term Agroecosystem Network (LTAR), and the Long-term Ecological Research Network (LTER), among others – have the potential to inform best ways to approach large-scale problems. This workshop will bring together researchers working in these networks to identify opportunities and barriers for understanding linkages across scales, and to explore ways that sites within networks could better optimize data products, measurements, and new sensor technology to address emerging national-scale problems. The results of this workshop have implications for US agriculture as it faces increasing pressures to meet emerging demands for food and other agricultural products while better conserving natural resources and protecting the environment. These challenges, faced by agriculture, are expressed at the farm and ranch scale, but the effect of individual decisions by individual farmers and ranchers scale rapidly to create regional to national effects. The proposed exploration of intersectionality across natural/wild and agricultural systems allows for the identification of sustainable solutions that convey global benefits.The University of Michigan -Kellogg Biological Station is funded to implement a workshop intended to identify ways to advance continent-scale agricultural science by leveraging resources of the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), the Long-term Agroecosystem Research Network (LTAR), the Long-term Ecological Research Network (LTER), and other U.S. agricultural and ecological research sites. Through a series of facilitated virtual meetings, workshop participants will discuss and identify a) synthesis activities that can be undertaken now by focused technical working groups via follow-on workshops and data analysis, and b) prioritized measurements that could be initiated soon in order to contribute to future opportunities for addressing important continental-scale questions informed by data from these networks, yielding broader societal benefits, i.e., the sustainable intensification of agriculture. Participants will explore scientific questions reliant on scaling (spatial or temporal), and questions related to interoperability among network nodes, data harmonization, measurement technologies, training, and organizational needs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

新的农业和野生/自然研究网站（包括国家生态观测网络（NEON），长期农业生态系统网络（LTAR）和长期生态研究网络（LTER）等新的网络，有可能为解决大型问题的最佳方法提供信息。该研讨会将使在这些网络中工作的研究人员聚集在一起，以确定理解跨尺度联系的机会和障碍，并探索网络中的网站可以更好地优化数据产品，测量和新的传感器技术，以解决新兴的国家规模问题。该研讨会的结果对美国的一致性有影响，因为它面临着越来越多的压力，以满足对食品和其他农产品的新兴需求，同时更好地保护自然资源并保护环境。这些挑战面临的挑战是在农场和牧场量表上表达的，但是各个农民和牧场主的个人决定的影响迅速规模规模，以创造国家影响的区域。对自然/野生和农业系统之间相交性的拟议探索允许识别传达全球收益的可持续解决方案。 （lter）以及其他美国农业和生态研究地点。通过一系列准备好的虚拟会议，研讨会参与者将讨论和确定a）通过后续技术工作组可以通过关注的技术工作组来进行的综合活动，以及b）b）b）优先级的衡量标准，可以很快启动这些衡量措施，以促进未来的机会，以解决这些网络从这些网络中获得的确定的确定的范围，从而可实现的范围，从而可实现较大的社会效果，即可实现的范围，即较大的范围，即更加依赖，即较大的范围。参与者将探讨与缩放（空间或临时）相关的科学问题，以及与网络节点之间的互操作性，数据协调，测量技术，培训和组织需求有关的问题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的智力优点和广泛的影响来评估Criteria，通过评估来诚实地通过评估来进行评估。
