- Title
Grasslands, Desert, and Arctic Programs.
- Abstract
The article offers information about the grassland, desert and Arctic programs, a research project at the National Science Foundation (NSF). As part of the International Biological Program's (IBPs) ecosystems analysis, the grants of over $3 million will be continually provided for the two major ecological investigations, to Colorado State University and to Utah State University. It notes that each project includes studies aimed at learning more on the processes that take place in an ecological system, testing of the computer model against what happens in the real ecosystem, and the construction of computer models of the ecosystem based on the results of these studies.
