Improving Restoration Programs Through Greater Connection With Ecological Theory and Better Monitoring

Improving Drought Management and Planning through Better Monitoring in Africa

Improving ecological monitoring

In summary, LTER systems can provide a standardized infrastructure to collect comparable data to answer the questions of today, and a rigorous scientific basis to address future challenges. We invite scientists to integrate stand-alone studies within innovative LTER approaches to provide future generations with the management tools to move beyond the confines of our current limited biodiversity...

Ecological Theory and Community Restoration Ecology

Community ecological theory may play an important role in the development of a science of restoration ecology. Not only will the practice of restoration benefit from an increased focus on theory, but basic research in community ecology will also benefit. We pose several major thematic questions that are relevant to restoration from the perspective of community ecological theory and, for each, i...

Regional Evaluation of Hydrometric Monitoring Stations through Using Entropy Theory

Proper design and operation of monitoring systems for water resources management is one of themost important issues of water quality and quantity and accuracy and adequacy of data. The properevaluation of these data has a determining role in the correctand consistent decisions in the areacovered by the system. Therefore, determining proper distribution and number of monitoringnetwork stations a...
