基斯通学院植物学助理教授琳达·塔克博士获得了由宾夕法尼亚州保护和自然资源部(DCNR)资助的野生资源保护计划(WRCP) 23,730美元的资助。 The grant will support an exciting new project focused on protecting two of Pennsylvania’s rarest wetland plants: Spreading Globeflower (目前laxus) and Glade Spurge (大戟属植物紫竹).
The project will kick off this summer and continue into next year, with the help of 野生动物生物学 students Cecilia Myers and Matthew Vlassis, who will assist in both modeling and fieldwork efforts. 他们将使用计算机建模和环境数据来确定适合这些濒危物种的栖息地。
通过使用一系列建模技术和环境变量,该项目旨在确定哪种组合最准确地预测适合的栖息地。 这些模型将在实地通过植物调查得到验证,最有效模型的结果将与DCNR共享,以帮助指导保护和管理战略。
塔克博士说:“我很高兴有机会进行研究,这将直接有利于宾夕法尼亚州的保护工作。” “Keystone 新葡京线上娱乐 is known for real-world, hands-on learning and this project will provide my student research assistants with practical experiences that connects their studies to meaningful conservation efforts.”
