		Ecological research over the long-term is also critical to tracking how the environment changes over time.
		Within that context of long-term environmental observation, we have been discussing a network called "NEON." This is the National Ecological Observatory Network--an array of observatories across the country furnished with cutting-edge technologies.

	Conservation and Development Interventions at the Wildlife/Livestock Interface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		There is a need for establishing long-term ecological observatories at the local level to monitor the ecological integrity of protected areas and the adjacent buffer zones to obtain sound scientific data on the interaction of the local human population and the natural resources, especially with respect to those within the protected areas.
		Because the pilot observatories in each participating country are certified in terms of the quality of scientific data that are collected, this certification process can be extended to protected area systems as well as to areas beyond the boundaries of protected areas.
		Wildlife tourism is ecologically and economically the most suitable form of extensive land use for most of the region, and there are currently major moves to extend this through the development of transfrontier conservation areas.

		In well-explored areas, collectors were able to give precise locations, but in tropical areas they may only have known the river they were along and how many hours of paddling it took to get there from a distant village.
		Ecological information with the specimens tended to be idiosyncratic, with some scientists providing good descriptions of vegetation, soil and other relevant conditions, whereas others provided little or no data.
		Inventories are receiving renewed attention, but they are increasingly quantitative and are often driven by societal needs, such as ecological classification for land use decision-making (including rapid assessments for conservation) and ecosystem health monitoring.

	APPROACHES TO THE CONSERVATION OF COASTAL WETLANDS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE
		Senner supports this conclusion "ecologically" by arguing that North Slope wetlands are less valuable than temperate wetlands and that Arctic-wetland species are not limited by habitat (i.e., wetlands are not at carrying capacity).
		The program is designed to promote the longterm perpetuation of North American waterfowl pop- ulations through the protection, restoration, and management of an ap- propriate distribution and diversity of high quality waterfowl habitat across North America (Fig.

	Press Mentions - NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory
		Where the zebra mussel has mostly impacted nearshore areas, the quagga seems to be blanketing the bottom of the lake and scientists expect the ecological impact to be far more severe in terms of removing food from the water column and changing light penetration.
		Non native species have created difficult and costly problems in the lakes in the past 20 years, including endangering the primary sport fisheries, threatening the base of the food chain, and toxic algae blooms.
		Although the introduction of tiny non-native zebra mussels into the Great Lakes in the 1980's was not at first seen as alarming, scientists soon realized that this species had an awesome ability to filter large quantities of water, removing the tiny organisms that form that backbone of the food chain.

		Michael Carter of the Colorado Bird Observatory generously shared his computerized database on conservation characteristics of neotropical migrants.
		Similarly, soil organic matter may not be a suitable indicator of the origin, primary water source, or maturation rate of irrigated wetlands, because it probably does not accumulate consistently over time in most irrigated wetlands, but is probably mineralized to a large degree at the end of each growing season.
		Infiltration of runoff through soils in many parts of the Colorado Plateau is ecologically and economically undesirable, because such infiltration can increase salinity in wetlands and other receiving waters farther downslope.
