Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project -- Terrestrial Ecology Assessment
 

The Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project is an ongoing land management assessment and planning effort for the Federal public lands of the Inland West, U.S.

The following links provide some publication extracts and abstracts from the Terrestrial Ecology Assessment portion of this work, which ran from 1994 to early 1997.
