Baseline Studies. This term is currently used as a catchall phrase to include the entire range of pre-project studies. Unfortunately, the studies are normally limited to descriptive, one-time surveys of all various components of the environment.

Études des conditions de base. Cette expression est habituellement utilisée comme terme «fourre-tout» pour désigner la série complète des études pré-projet. Malheureusement, ces études se bornent en général à un inventaire descriptif de tous les éléments du milieu. Il est souvent difficile de saisir les objectifs, les limites en matière d'interprétation des données ou l'utilisation des résultats. Dans peu de cas seulement, nous avons trouvé des énoncés d'incidences où l'on avait essayé d'établir quantitativement la variabilité spatiale et temporelle naturelle des paramètres choisis et, qui plus est, l'importance de ce facteur a même été rarement reconnue. 2, record 1, French, - variabilit%C3%A9%20spatiale
