摘要：Monitoring of changes in terrestrial ecosystems is fundamental to understanding of global change. Changes in temperate forests result from both anthropogenic and natural causes. These changes in turn influence many other processes significant for understanding the Earth as a system, including biosphere/atmosphere interactions, biogeochemical cycles, and hydrology. The Intensive Monitoring of forest ecosystems is discussed. Harmonised methods for the sampling and assessment have been agreed. Additional measurements on part of the plots include the atmospheric deposition, meteorological, hydrological and soil parameters. The Intensive Monitoring is considered to be an important tool for evaluation and further development of air pollution protocol by giving insight in the effects of present emission control measures.
