The State of the Environment: Ten Years after Stockholm - Project Plan

The main focus of the state of the environment is the changes - positive and/or negative - that occur in the different components of the natural environment (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, etc), with particular attention to the interacting processes between these components. These processes demonstrate the functional inter-relationship between the non-living, or abiotic, environment and the biotic community of plants, animals, and microbes that is fundamental to environmental dynamics.
