SERDP Ecosystem Management Project (SEMP): 2004 Technical Report

Abstract : The 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 (DoD) ecosystem management challenges. After the workshop, SERDP allocated initial funding to a new project, titled the SERDP Ecosystem Management Project, designated as CS-1114. This report provides a comprehensive record of the progress and issues related to SEMP up to and during calendar year 2004. Chapter 2 provides the status and findings of the monitoring effort, while Chapter 3 describes efforts related to managing SEMP data, documents, and overall knowledge management. Chapters 4 through 7 summarize the status of the various projects and progress during FY 2004. This document also presents information on the SEMP integration task, site comparison indices, and the host site coordinator's report.
