Description: Special Report
Abstract: SERDP Ecosystem Management Project (SEMP) was initiated in 1998 by the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), after a 1997 workshop on Department of Defense ecosystem management challenges. After the workshop, SERDP allocated initial funding to a new project, titled the SERDP Ecosystem Management Project, designated as CS-1114, which changed in mid-2005 to SI-1114. SERDP funded five ecological studies under the guidance of SEMP (SERDP Ecosystem Management Project). Three of the studies focused on identifying ecological indicators that reflected training-caused disturbance. Two studies attempted to characterize state-transition thresholds that could be attributed to combined training and land management impacts. This report summarizes the findings and recommendations of these studies with regard to : (1.) Potential Application, (2.) Disturbance Threshold and Indicators, (3.) Stream and Water Quality, and (4.) Threatened, Endangered, and At-Risk species.
