摘要: The pressure-state-response framework is a powerful approach to environmental assessment. In many of its current expressions, however, it ignores the background natural processes that play major role in determining and ecosystem health. Clearly, policies must be focused on human actions scar landscape harm environment, but coping with change also requires an assessment take place whether or not influences are at work. A newly-developed class indicators (geoindicators), presented here brief, may helpful understanding interaction impacts. Explicit recognition need include conditions indicator system essential transition from reporting sustainability reporting.
