| Title |  |  |  | Ecosystem Management Tools and Techniques: Proceedings of a CRS Workshop |
 |
| Author |  |  |  | Wayne A. Morrissey |
 |
| Abstract |  |  |  | 1995 report prepared as a briefing document for the U.S. Congress. emonstrate tools and techniques used in scientific The purposes of his workshop were to research on ecosystems and to address technological aspects of developing and administering a national policy for ecosystem management. . . which addressed five policy questions:What are the opportunities and limitations of these tools? Where is the development of these tools headed, and how rapidly are they changing What are the costs associated with tools, and how do those costs compare with the cost of data acquisition? Is there a need for new or different data based upon the capabilities and opportunities of the tools? and, What is the potential of these tools for informing the public decision-making process and contributing to other national goals?" |

 |
| Abstract |  |  |  | 1994 report prepared as a briefing document for the U.S. Congress. Eighteen Federal agencies demonstrated their ecosystem management activities to the congressional community on March 24, 1994, as part of a two-day ecosystem management symposium convened by the Congressional Research Service . . . This report is a compilation of short papers distributed at the demonstration, describing each participating Federal agency's ecosystem management efforts. Each agency was asked to address five topics." 1. Ecosystem Management Activities. 2. Cooperation and Coordination. 3. Tools of Ecosystem Management. 4. Funding Ecosystem Management. 5. Ecosystem Management Limits and Opportunities." |

| Title |  |  |  | Population Dynamics and the Assessment of Land Use Changes and Deforestation |
 |
| Author |  |  |  | Rudi Drigo and Alain Marcoux |
 |
| Abstract |  |  |  | Paper explores links between population and deforestation in tropical countries. They highlight the need for "analysing population-deforestation linkages at several geographical levels in order to combine complementary angles of analysis and thus avoid misconceptions and simplifications". Paper addresses: 1. Population density and forest cover 1.1 Population and deforestation: statistical correlation 1.2 A case study of the Brazilian Amazon 2. Population and land use changes in tropical countries 2.1 The assessment of land use changes through remote sensing 2.2 Role of population factors in land use changes 2.3 Environmental impact of different population groups Annex 1: Estimating the forest change model Annex 2: Regional biomass flux diagrams" |
