摘要: Large-scale data collection is the initial observational phase of integrated regional ecological assessments (IREAs). The methodology determines to a large extent accuracy and precision all subsequent analyses, such as pattern recognition (Bourgeron Jensen, 1994; Bourgeron et al., 1994a; Dale O’Neill, 1999). analysis interpretative phases IREAs often tend be emphasized by scientists over formal procedures (see case studies in Chapters 30 through 34; for very approach survey design, see US-EPA Ecological Monitoring Assessment Program, O’Neill Kapner 1995). lack formal, consistent protocols unfortunate, because quality characterization region interpretations depend on data, both terms thoroughness coverage type information collected.
