Hydrobiological monitoring is currently widely used in the study of water quality cooling ponds thermal power plants. With a high level anthropogenic load, overgrowing gives reliable integral result overall ecological condition reservoir. However, there insufficient volume actual field studies and their analytical processing scientific literature. In this study, an analysis state object was car...

identification of rapid degradation of ecological resources requires effective environmental monitoring including ecological integrity assessment .our first aim is to analyze ecological integrity in a landscape context while developing a method to assess integrity in spite of a dearth of historical data. we used a spatial-temporal reference framework for land cover maps for assessing ecological...

www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America A managers, scientists, and policy makers increasingly recognize the value of ecological monitoring (Lovett et al. 2007), new monitoring programs are being implemented, and existing programs are undergoing redesign and improvement (Busch and Trexler 2003). Current investment in careful planning and design of monitoring programs will...

We elaborate the necessary conceptual and strategic elements for developing an effective adaptive monitoring network to support Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) in a multiuser nature reserve in the Dutch Wadden Sea Region. We discuss quality criteria and enabling actions essential to accomplish and sustain monitoring excellence to support ICM. The Wadden Sea Long-Term Ecosystem Research proj...

A representational approach to ecological psychology is presented. This paper identifies a computational-level commonality in ecological psychology research related to passability of apertures. It is argued that a cognitive mechanism capable of comparing the geometric properties of an environment and the geometric properties of the agent can be used to support judgments for action in space.

An alternative view of presence is introduced based on existential philosophy and ecological psychology. This view favors a Heideggerian/Gibsonian metaphysic over the more conventional rationalistic orientation. In this alternative view, notions of subjective presence and objective presence no longer exist. Presence is instead tied to one’s successfully supported action in the environment, this...
