Conceptual diagram, and a conceptual model illustrating the framework and linkages in an ecological monitoring program.
Conceptual framework of a monitoring program
Conceptual diagram illustrating an example of a designated use area in a body of water that is used to determine the threshold values that are used in ecological indicators.
Determining threshold values
Conceptual diagram illustrating how an estuary can be divided in ecological reporting.
Division of regions in ecological report cards
Conceptual diagram illustrating how the ecological indicators in a program will affect resources, data management, etc.
Ecological indicators in environmental management
Conceptual diagrams illustrating two the variability of statistical estimates based on sample size in environmental reporting.
Environmental statistics- sample size
Conceptual diagram illustrating an example of using a diagram for selecting and implementing important indicators. The diagram on the right was developed after three years of monitoring using the guidelines from the left diagram.
Example of diagrams that help select indicators
Conceptual diagram illustrating the ideal balance between a model's complexity and its power to explain that complexity.
Explanatory power vs. complexity in ecological…
Conceptual diagram illustrating the sample design in relation with the parameters and instruments while gathering data in a coastal assessment.
Gathering data for Coastal Assessment
Conceptual diagram illustrating the geographic scale of an environmental report card. The three assessments shown are that of the Chesapeake Bay on a national, regional, and local level.
Geographic scaling of report cards
Ideal conditions required for growth of any particular organism vary over scales of time and space. This occurs because the success of a habitat and associated organisms are dependent on a variety of factors. By protecting several replicates of similar habitats in the system, along an environmental gradient, the likelihood increases that at least one habitat will be healthy in any particular year. The life cycle of lobsters shows that just one species needs many connected habitats to survive and reproduce.
Habitat patchwork
A comparison of the current water flow in the Everglades (East to West), versus the historically North-South flow.
Historical versus current flow regime through the…
Conceptual diagram illustrating how changes in water quality affect different zones of a waterway.
How water quality influences different zones in a…
Conceptual diagram illustrating examples of how indicators and framework are ideally presented in an ecological report card.
Integrating data into an ecological report card
Conceptual diagram illustrating how research, management, and communication successfully come together in creating an ecological forecasting program.
Interconnectivity of research, management and…
Conceptual diagram illustrating the remote sensing process in water quality monitoring. This deals with how light interacts with the remote sensing process.
Light interactions in the remote sensing process
One approach to the development of better coastal and marine policy and management is the concept of marine managed areas (MMAs). A MMA is an area of ocean, or combination of land and ocean, where human activities are managed toward common goals. MMAs are a form of ecosystem-based management, where all elements of a particular system are considered together. When the principles of a marine managed area are fully implemented, the resulting benefits to both the environment and humans can be optimized.
Marine managed areas
Conceptual diagram illustrating the different methods that can be used to monitor water quality from dockside observations, to satellite sensing.
Methods of water quality monitoring
Conceptual diagrams illustrating a few examples of models that can be used to investigate a range of research questions when dealing with data and complexity of the model.
Models of varying complexity
Conceptual diagram illustrating some guidelines in managing a project by informing citizens, and encouraging them to take action.
Producing results in environmental management
Conceptual diagram illustrating the factors that affect the heath of a system, the overall condition of that system, and how the response of society correlates with those aspects.
PSR indicators
Conceptual diagram illustrating the flow of information in a remote sensing toolkit, a web-based instructional procedure. (www.gpm.uq.edu.au/CRSSIS-rstoolkit/)
Remote Sensing Toolkit
Conceptual diagram illustrating the sample locations in the Marine Monitoring Network used for the MLR models in the Everglades.
Sampling sites in the everglades
Conceptual Diagram illustrating the necessary collaboration in an environmental campaign.
Science and resource management
Conceptual diagram illustrating how spatial analysis combines a diversity of data sets into a map, overlay, analysis, and other decision tools.
