Proceedings of the Workshop on Aquatic Ecosystem Modeling and Assessment Techniques for Application within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Abstract
Ecosystem management implies the ability to simulate or predict the responses of ecological systems, particularly those influenced by human activity. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (CE) is one of several Federal agencies with broad responsibilities for managing and restoring both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. For the CE, such responsibilities relate to both civil works and military activities. Concerns over the development of modeling and assessment techniques for application to CE ecosystem management and restoration activities led to the conduct of a workshop in Morrilton, AR, from June 30 to July 3, 1997. This workshop provided a forum for nationally recognized experts to discuss management needs, explore modeling issues and alternative approaches to modeling ecosystems, and develop a specific application for zebra mussels.
