One significant knowledge gap necessary for assessing ecosystem-wide impacts of restoration in... estuaries is a characterization of baseline lower trophic levels. These lower tropic levels are the lowest part of the food web where organisms such as plant-like phytoplankton serve as food to animals such as zooplankton in the water column. Other organisms of lower trophic levels include plant-like microphytobenthos and marine worms living within the sediments. These organisms form an important part of the estuary ecosystem [and] provide energy at the base of the food chain [that] support the growth of larger predators at the top[, ] such as speckled trout or red fish[. These] organisms also help to break down debris, put oxygen back into sediments, and can provide a biological window into the health of an estuary.  1, record 1, English, - lower%20trophic%20level

Trophic levels refer to a level or position in a food chain or food web. It is one of the oldest concepts in ecology that seeks to explain the energy relations between different organisms.... the bottom trophic level is known as the primary producers. These are usually plants like phytoplankton, algae, and seaweed. They can make their own food(usually photosynthesizing sugars from the sun), and do not need to consume other plants or animals. They are typically the most abundant organisms found in the ecosystem.  1, record 2, English, - primary%20producer

Les niveaux trophiques désignent un niveau ou une position dans une chaîne alimentaire ou un réseau alimentaire. C'est l'un des plus anciens concepts de l'écologie qui cherche à expliquer les relations énergétiques entre les différents organismes. [...] le niveau trophique inférieur est connu sous le nom de producteurs primaires. Il s'agit généralement de plantes comme le phytoplancton, les algues et les algues marines. Ils peuvent fabriquer leur propre nourriture (généralement en photosynthétisant les sucres du soleil) et n'ont pas besoin de consommer d'autres plantes ou animaux. Ce sont généralement les organismes les plus abondants de l'écosystème.  1, record 2, French, - producteur%20primaire

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 4, 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 4, English, - ecological%20phenomenon

La surveillance est une mesure répétitive. Dans le cadre général des évaluations d'incidences environnementales, il s'agit habituellement de la mesure de variables environnementales, après le début de la réalisation d'un projet de mise en valeur (C'est l'étude des conditions de base antérieure à ce début qui sert au contrôle). Dans le cadre plus particulier des études écologiques au sein d'une évaluation des incidences (par ex., le contexte de ce rapport), le terme surveillance désigne la mesure répétée de différents phénomènes écologiques, dont les résultats servent à surveiller les changements, principalement pour (i) évaluer les hypothèses d'incidences et les prévisions, et (ii) mettre des mesures d'atténuation à l'essai.  1, record 4, French, - ph%C3%A9nom%C3%A8ne%20%C3%A9cologique
