Ecological Principles for Managing Land Use
The Ecological Society of America (ESA), the nation's leading professional society of ecological scientists, is an essential source of information for those addressing the many complex tasks associated with watershed management. This EPA-funded, April 2000 publication of the ESA Committee on Land Use is an especially useful resource for citizens, resource managers, policymakers, and others concerned about ecologically sustainable land use approaches that can be implemented through watershed management. It provides, in language understandable by non-scientists, the consensus of a panel of scientific experts on general ecological principles that can be applied to land use decisions to reduce or minimize unnecessary environmental damage.
