Title | Performance of different landscape classifications for aquatic bioassessments: introduction to the series |
Creator | Hawkins, Charles P. Norris, R. H. |
Description | Bioassessment is the process of determining if human activity has altered the biological properties of an ecosystem. To quantify assessments we must be able to specify those biological properties that are either expected to occur in the absence of human alteration (the pristine condition) or that are attainable given current ecological, economic, and political constraints. Because we almost always lack knowledge about the biota that existed at sites prior to human alteration, we must usually... |
