Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning: Maintaining Natural Life Support Processes
The Ecological Society of America (ESA), the nation's leading professional
society of ecological scientists, is an essential source of information for
those addressing the many complex tasks associated with watershed management.
An occasional publication series, Issues in
Ecology, is an especially useful resource for citizens, resource
managers, policymakers, and others designing and implementing watershed
approaches to environmental management. Each Issues in
Ecology paper is designed to report, in language understandable
by non-scientists, the consensus of a panel of scientific experts on issues
relevant to the environment. Issues in Ecology
reports are available on the ESA Web site .
