Through the combined efforts of The Nature Conservancy (TNC), the Ecological Society of America Vegetation Panel (ESA-VP), and the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC), the United States is on the verge of having its first fully fu Nitrogen Transport and Transformations; A Regional and Global Analysis Robert Howarth On behalf of the Scientific Committee on Problems in the Environment (SCOPE),. [...] These include: 1) a number of small working groups that will focus on specific uncertainties in the global N cycle and will meet at the Center 2-3 times over an 18 month period; 2) a sabbatical as an NCEAS fellow for the co-chair of the SCOPE Nitrogen Project, Bob Howarth; and 3) the creation of a web site at the Center devoted to providing data and information on regional to global scale N cyclin. [...] In the first and second phases, we will put the 'state of the art' into the context of a framework that identifies two types of distortion of a basic sampling curve: the island model and the landscape model. [...] The goals of this Working Group are to describe the general patterns and principles that characterize the roles of biodiversity, biotic interactions, and global change in the dynamics of disease; and to organize and synthesize ecological information such that biomedical researchers can apply it to disease abatement. [...] At a workshop at NCEAS students participate in the analysis of the database and in developing scientific publications and policy recommendations to the U.
