Guidelines for Terrestrial Ecosystem Survey.

Abstract

This report provides guidelines that will enable Army installations to compile and maintain enough information on flora and fauna to produce satisfactory environmental impact assessments and statements. The report outlines a three-stage method for data acquisition and contains appendices listing literature resources and specialists. By completing Stage I, users create a series of maps, overlays, and tables that give an estimate of the amount of habitat, types of vegetation, and types of animals existing on the installation. Stage II involves a field verification of the information from Stage I. Stage III requires the explicit documentation of population densities and other ecological parameters of the various organisms on the installation. (Author)
