Monitoring simply means repetitive measurement. In the general context of environmental impact assessment, it usually refers to the measurement of environmental variables after a development proposal has been initiated(the baseline constituting such measurement before project initiation). In the specific context of ecological investigations within impact assessment(i. e., the context of this report), our use of the term monitoring refers to repetitive measurement of specific ecological phenomena to document change primarily for the purposes of(i) testing impact hypotheses and predictions and(ii) testing mitigative measures. 1, record 2, English, - ecological%20phenomenon

... laboratory or field experiments could provide some guidance. The obvious ecological phenomenon of interest would be bioaccumulation, the application of which would involve dose-response experiments using the identified target species, or food chain studies if trophic linkages were involved. Such focussed activities would also identify the need for specific, quantitative baseline data. 1, record 2, English, - ecological%20phenomenon
