Appendix 4
Cooperative Projects Suggested at
1988 Workshop
1. Monitoring of Forest Response to Environmental Health
A workshop was held in Poland in October, 198S, to identify key issues
and parameters for forest monitoring (see Appendix 3, item 9~.
2. Use of Bioindicators to Quantify Dig Deposition of Sulfur in Forested
Areas
(See Appendix 3, item 15)
3. Applicability of Remote Sensing Technologies to Solution of Polish
Environmental Problems
(See Appendix 3, item 20)
4. Development and Use of Water Quality Models with Emphases on
Microcomputer Applications and Innovations
5. Information Systems and Computer Models for Water Management
in Large River Basins
6. River Basin Environmental Management
The maintenance of water quality in lakes and rivers requires man-
agement of the watersheds. The TVA model will constitute an initial
hypothesis for evaluation. A river-lake ecotone will be managed to
develop in sim controls of toxic substances and nutrients. The experi-
mental watersheds will be located in the "Lake District" in northeastern
Poland where extensive baseline data already exist.

APPENDIX 4
7. U.S.-Polish Development and Training Program for Water Quality
Modeling and Risk Assessment
Water quality management in Poland requires new, innovative tech-
nologies that do not require massive commitments of money and
energy. Water quality models for transport, fate, and exposure pro-
cesses will be coupled with risk assessment methodologies. These will
be utilized both as a training methodology and as a direct validation
experiment under field conditions in Poland.
8. Function and Management of Ecological Boundaries Within Land-
scapes
Ecotones between various ecosystems as well as shelterbelts, narrow
stretches of meadows, and other biological filters have great influence
on many processes basic for ecosystem functioning such as matter
and energy fluxes, distribution of biota, etc. Ecological boundaries
have substantial influence on so-called "self-purification environmental
processes" and play an important role in the protection of ecosystems
against pollutants.
The object of this proposal is to compare and summarize the results
obtained in the United States and Poland and draw general conclusions
for environmental conservancy and sustainable development of con-
cerned countries. There will be a mutual exchange of investigators for
cooperative work. The project will include organization of a workshop
to summarize results.
9. Evaluation of Ecological Processes by Remote Sensing Methods: Litter
Fall as an Index of Organic Matter Input to Ecosystems
The program will involve continuous registration of litter fall on the
ground and on satellite/aircraft photography. Broadleaved forests
throughout Poland are proposed as the main ecosystem type to be
studied. Collection and elaboration of ground data will be done at
Polish site, and remote sensing and modeling will be done at U.S. site.
10. Development and Testing of Biological Markers
DNA adducts, isoenymes, and biochemical changes at the subcellular
level have considerable potential for use in ecological, epidemiological
studies in contaminated ecosystems. Ultimately, these kinds of studies
may also be useful for prediction of threats to human health.
