ARID ECOSYSTEMS STRATEGIC MONITORING PLAN, 1991 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
In response to the growing concerns regarding the condition of the nation's ecological resources, the U.S. EPA has initiated the development of a national interagency program to determine the status of, and to monitor the changes in, ecological systems. his program is called the Environmental M...
