The Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project: Scientific Assessment CD available now.

This CD-ROM contains digital versions (PDF) of the major scientific documents prepared for the Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project (ICBEMP). "A Framework for Ecosystem Management in the Interior Columbia Basin and Portions of the Klamath and Great Basins" describes a general planning model for ecosystem management. The "Highlighted Scientific Findings of the Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project" provides an overview of the science information. The "Status of the Columbia Basin: Summary of Scientific Findings" summarizes the scientific findings from the ICBEMP. "An Integrated Scientific Assessment for Ecosystem Management in the Interior Columbia Basin and Portions of the Klamath and Great Basins" links landscapes, aquatic, terrestrial, social, and economic characterizations to describe biophysical and social systems. The "Assessment of Ecosystem Components in the Interior Columbia Basin and Portions of the Klamath and Great Basins" provides detailed information about current conditions and trends for the biophysical and social systems within the basin.
