摘要

Why has the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) zeroed-out $4 million in annual funding for a 57-year-old, highly respected, independent ecology lab in Aiken, S.C.? Supporters consider the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) a beacon in the federal lab system, noting that it began under the leadership of Eugene Odum, known worldwide as the father of modern ecology.rnThe lab's location on the 310 square mile Savannah River Site (SRS) provides "extremely rare opportunities to study the ecosystems that are not impacted by human activities," R Ward Whicker, a professor emeritus and radioecologist at Colorado State University, told a congressional subcommittee that is investigating the lab's funding. As much as 85% of the land consists of pristine forest and aquatic ecosystems of streams, ponds, and wetlands, which support a "very rich and diverse flora and fauna," Whicker added.
