Effective ecological monitoring

In this book, the authors outline some of the key pitfalls and deficiencies in ecological monitoring programs. They then describe some the features of long-term monitoring programs that are essential to make them viable, using case studies such as those of Rothamsted (UK) and the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (USA). Based upon their collective experience spanning 70 years in establishing natural resource monitoring programs, the authors propose a new approach, which they call Adaptive Monitoring, to resolve some of these problems underlying poorly planned and unfocused monitoring programs."--Pub. desc.

  • ""Ecologists and managers of natural resources readily acknowledge the importance of long-term monitoring for improved understanding and management of complex environmental systems. Long-term data are crucially important for providing baselines for evaluating environmental change. They are also fundamental for detecting and evaluating changes in ecosystem structure and function, and for evaluating response to disturbances such as climate change or pollution. Countless scientific articles, books, management plans and other documents have been written about the need to conduct long-term monitoring. However, although there have undoubtedly been some highly successful long-term ecological monitoring programs, there is a history of poorly planned and unfocused efforts that are either ineffective or fail completely."@en

  • "Long-term monitoring programs are fundamental to understanding the natural environment and effectively tackling major environmental problems. Yet they are often done very poorly and ineffectively. Effective Ecological Monitoring describes what makes successful and unsuccessful long-term monitoring programs."@en
