Assessing the Effects of USDA Conservation Programs on Ecosystem Services Provided by Wetlands

摘要

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) began more than seven years ago to document the impact of conservation programs and practices on private lands. The ultimate goal of the project is to fill in the gaps associated with wetland and agricultural conservation so that the most effective practices and programs can be used to maximize wetland ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes.
