English Abstract In this report a conceptual method is proposed with
which the status of ecosystems in the Netherlands can be described. This
method can be used for state of the (ecological) environment reporting. The
following issues are discussed: policy needs, current ecological yardsticks,
indicator selection, resolution, aggregation of information, presentation of
results, ecological models and ecological monitoring programmes. On the
basis of this information the conceptual method is proposed at a regional
level using target species, ecosystem species and abiotic conditions of
target species and target ecosystems. Needs to work out this conceptual
method are discussed in terms of research and compared with current reserach
programmes of the RIVM and the IKC-NBLF. Ommisions and cornerstones have
been identified.
