Monitoring Ecological Impacts: Concepts and Practice in Flowing Waters. 2002. (Reprint 2008). XVI, 434 p. gr8vo. Paper bd.
Provides thetools needed by professional ecologists, scientists, engineers, plannersand managers to design assessment programs that can reliably monitor,detect and allow management of human impacts on the natural environment.The procedures described are well-grounded in inferential logic, and thestatistical models needed to analyse complex data are given.Step-by-step guidelines and flow diagrams provide the reader with clearand useable protocols, which can be applied in any region of the worldand to a wide range of human impacts. Real examples are used to showhow the theory can be put into practice.
