How can we determine the effects of landscape hydrology on specific animal populations?
How can the ecological responses to different management alternatives be predicted in the landscape?
How can effects of altered hydrologic conditions on the potential for breeding and foraging of wildlife populations in the landscape be modeled?
How can the relative impacts on populations of endangered species from altered hydrologic conditions be assessed in the landscape?
How can an understanding of the changes in the landscape be aided by studying vegetation patterns?
