6. Ocean Biogeographic Information System
http://www.iobis.org/
Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) is "a user-friendly, web-based
provider of global geo-referenced information on accurately identified
marine species" developed by the international research program Census of
Marine Life. OBIS can be used to integrate information from a host of stand-
alone databases including biological, physical, and chemical oceanographic
data on a selected species and geographic range of interest. A couple of the
sections are still under construction, but this does not affect the ability
to use the database. This Web site may provide an important source of
accurate information for scientists researching a particular species or
location. This site is also reviewed in the July 26, 2002 _NSDL Life
Sciences Report_. [AL]

5. Bibliography of References Related to Seed Dormancy and/or Germination
in Higher Plants
http://library.usask.ca/dbs/seed.html
This online bibliography is an extensive resource with a particular focus on
early seed dormancy literature. Professor G.M. Simpson from the University
of Saskatchewan has compiled this bibliography of 12,000 sources dating back
to the 1890's. The bibliography has a user friendly search function and help
page, and a history list of each session is available until the user exits
the database. [AL]

15. EPA Global Warming Site: Climate Change Education Resource Database
http://yosemite.epa.gov/oar/resources.nsf/websearch?openform
This educational resource from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
is aimed at helping teachers find teaching resources on the
interdisciplinary subject of climate change. The easy-to-use database allows
teachers to narrow down their search by grade level; select whether they are
interested in policy, impacts, or the science of climate change; choose the
classroom subject (math, science, history, etc.); and the type of
information (book, Internet lesson plan, video, etc.). Not all of the
resources are directly available online, but most provide at least a Web
site with a description and ordering information. [AL]

Subject: SWS announcement for 2003 meeting
1st Call for Symposia and Workshops
Wetland Stewardship: Changing Landscapes and Interdisciplinary
Challenges, is the theme for the 24th Annual Conference of the Society of
Wetland Scientists, to be held June 8-June 13, 2003 in New Orleans,
Louisiana, USA. The conference will address interdisciplinary, innovative
approaches and technologies that are currently being applied to sustaining
wetlands across diverse environments and spatial scales of the world.
Symposia and workshops should combine traditional and applied wetland
sciences with ecological, physical, engineering, economic and/or social
sciences.
The deadline for submittal of symposia and workshop proposals is
September 30, 2002. For detailed information on the requirements and format
of proposals, please see the 2003 New Orleans meeting website
(http://www.sws.org/neworleans/) or contact Dr. Robert R. Twilley, Program
Co-chair, Center for Ecology and Environmental Technology, University of
Louisiana at Lafayette, PO Box 42451, Lafayette, LA 70504 USA; Email:

Subject: request for low-density dev papers
Could someone suggest one or several good articles for
someone (me) interested in the impact of low-density
development on ecosystems when canopy cover has been
damaged minimally. I am also interested in papers
that discuss whether the type of development
determines the degree of the impact.
Thank you!
