Subject: Re: scientific spanish
Fellow ecologers,
As per Mike Conroy's suggestion of using "vertedero" and my own choice
of "botadero" for Spanish terms of landfill, a cautionary note is
appropriate for the difference of the usage of scientific terminology
in Latin America and in Spain. My choice for Landfill is actually
"relleno sanitario".
If terminology questions from colleagues working in Latin America
arise, these and many other terms are now available in my recently
pulished book "Diccionario Latinoamericano de Ecologia de Paisajes,
Conservacion y Desarrollo Sustentable" printed by Editorial AbyaYala,
in Quito, Ecuador. You can request the book at
<editorial@abyayala.org>
An electronic version of the dictionary will soon be availabe at
http://www.ensayo.rom.uga.edu in the Proyecto Ensayo Hispanico homepage
developed at the University of Georgia to analyze the ecological and
environmental thought in the Spanish-speaking world.

Hello,
I will be teaching an upper level undergraduate course in aquatic ecology
this summer, and would like to include discussions of influencial papers.
Because of the short time-frame (its an intensive course that runs only 3
weeks), I'm limited to only a few papers. I'm interested in hearing
from others about what papers you think have had a significant impact on
the field. If you had to pick several of the most important/influencial
papers in aquatic ecology, what would they be? Thanks.

BUSH BUDGET FALLS FAR SHORT ON SCIENCE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DECISIONMAKING
NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT EXPRESSES EXTREME
DISAPPOINTMENT
April 13, 2001
WASHINGTON, DC.
The National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE), a
broad-based coalition of nearly 500 scientific, academic, business,
environmental and governmental organizations expressed "extreme
disappointment" at the initial budget released today by President Bush.
The budget falls far short of President Bush s campaign pledge to place
a high priority on investing in science as a basis for effective
environmental decisionmaking.
Among the highlights of the Bush budget with respect to science for the
environment are:
* A cut in the research budget of the National Science Foundation, the
Nation s leading funder of academic research about the environment
* A debilitating cut of 9% on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS),
including a 21% cut in the Water Division and termination of programs
such as Water Resources Research Institutes and Urban Dynamics Program
* Elimination of the Smithsonian Institution s Conservation and
Environmental Research Center, which conducts world-class research on
captive breeding of endangered species and has trained thousands of
conservation leaders
* Cuts and terminations of environmental science programs at National
Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Environmental
Protection Agency, Department of Agriculture and elsewhere
* Elimination of environmental information programs, including EPA s
project EMPACT, USGS s National Biological Information Infrastructure
(NBII), Center for Biological Informatics, Earth Science Information
Management and Delivery.
"These cuts and terminations are in opposition to the Bush
Administration s often-repeated statements to base decisions on sound
science" stated Dr. Peter Saundry, the Council s Executive Director.
"The Bush Administration has stated that insufficient science is the
reason for delayed decisions about climate change and arsenic in
drinking water. Yet, this budget delays the time when they have enough
science to make decisions on these and other important environmental
issues."
On March 8, the Council had sent a letter to President Bush urging the
new president to make good on a campaign pledge to instruct his
administration to place a high priority on investing in science as a
basis for effective environmental decisionmaking. The letter was
co-signed by more than 130 college and university presidents,
scientific, business, and environmental leaders from throughout the
country.
In their letter to President Bush, the NCSE-led coalition told the
Administration that additional funding must be provided for scientific
programs in order to:
* assess what is known about the environment,
* better understand the environment,
* provide scientific information about the environment, and
* support science-based education about the environment.
The National Council estimates total federal spending on environmental
research and development to be about $5 billion in the current fiscal
year. A preliminary look at the Bush budget suggests that this number
may shrink by hundreds of millions of dollars. "In order to protect our
environment while growing our economy, science spending should be going
up, not down," according to Dr. Saundry.
National Council Plans Earth Day
Release of Report to Assist Science Policymakers
Foreseeing the need to assist the Administration and the Congress in
their efforts to make timely and science-based decisions on
environmental issues, the Council had convened a conference last
December at the National Academy of Sciences for just that purpose. The
report of the landmark conference, Improving the Scientific Basis for
Environmental Decisionmaking, details recommendations to the government
by 14 expert working groups which met during the conference to debate
such topics as global climate change, biotechnology, and population. The
report will be released on Earth Day, April 22. NCSE and supportive
Members of Congress will hold a briefing in the House Science Committee
Hearing room Thursday morning April 26. Also taking place during this
week will be a briefing with supporting Senators. The specific time and
place for this hearing are still to be determined.
The National Council for Science and the Environment has been working to
improve the scientific basis for environmental decisionmaking since
1990. The Council brings diverse communities and stakeholders together
to pursue its vision of a society where environmental decisions are
based on an accurate understanding of science, and both its potential
and its limitations. Most recently, the Council helped to stimulate the
National Science Foundation s new long-term environment science
initiative, a milestone effort that seeks to attain an additional $1
billion-per-year for environmental research, knowledge assessment, and
education grants.
For a copy of the letter and signatures, updated information about the
release of the NCSE report, other programs sponsored by NCSE, and access

Hello,
Some colleagues and I have been using data from large tree plot networks to
explore how tree species are distributed among upland, floodplain, and swam=
p
forests in Amazonian Ecuador and Peru. We=B9re now looking for a comparable
tree plot inventory from a temperate forest, in order to ask some
comparative questions. If you maintain or know of a temperate forest
dataset that meets the rough criteria below, we=B9d be very interested in
striking up a collaboration.
The temperate forest plot network should inventory adult trees (ours sample
stems >10 cm dbh), and ideally include at least 3,000 individual trees fr
m
each forest type. Individual plots in the network should only sample one
forest type, i.e., individual plots should not lie on a gradient from one
habitat to another. We define upland forests as those that do not flood no=
w
and are unlikely to have ever flooded over the last, say, 1,000 years.
Floodplain forests are those which are flooded periodically by nearby river=
s
but do not have permanently saturated soils. Swamp forests grow on
permanently saturated soils. Good taxonomy is essential but the age of the
census is unimportant. The older the forest at the time of the census, the
better. =20

that is dedicated to "providing information on environmental indicators to
science and society ..." Though the website notes the new Journal,
Ecological Indicators, as well as additional publications and related

to providing free information for international, public consumption. If you
have comments or suggestions, please send them to:

This web site is new and will be undergoing changes. Currently, there are
