摘要: Environmental and nature management can not operate effectivelywithout reliable information on changes in the environment andon causes of those changes. Ecological monitoring canrepresent an important source information. However, manyoperational programs are very effective, i.e., useful for decision-making. We present a conceptualframework development maintenance effectiveecological programs. In decision-making process,two main functions be recognized: earlywarning early control function. Both these functionsrequire high diagnostic power. This is used as guideline forthe design process. The consists choices concerningmonitoring objectives, objects variables to monitored,sampling strategy design, data collection, handling, organization. Arguments commonly put forward inliterature practice support various aresubjected critical analysis. framework will helpfulin effective systems it avoidsimportant components overlooked, clarifies relationbetween different components, maximizes exploitation ofexisting possibilities opportunities identifiesshortcomings advance. result programsthat should able live up their expectations.
