Ecological Renovation: Assessment Steps For Development Sites
Reference Type
University Outreach Publication
University Outreach Publication
Once a management unit has been defined, and we understand how it functions at the most basic level, we can then begin a site assessment process. To ecologically renovate an ecoplex, an assessment process must be used that can identify resource inputs and outputs, internal and external cycling of resources, and the individual organisms present.
One type of assessment guide is presented below. The items defined here can help put a site and its ecological resources into context for planning and application of renovation activities. This ten step assessment process for damaged or exhausted ecoplexes can help guide future renovation steps.
