SON Number: RCSON-12−01 October 28, 2010 Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) FY 2012 STATEMENT OF NEED Resource Conservation and Climate Change (RC) Program Area ASSESSMENT AND MONITORING OF BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY: METHOD DEVELOPMENT 1. Objective of Proposed Work The objective of this Statement of Need (SON) is to improve our fundamental and applied understanding of how to assess the status of and monitor trends in native species biological diversity (biodiversity1) on lands and in waters that are of relevance to Department of Defense (DoD) resource managers. Research proposals are sought that both: (1) build on theoretical models of estimating the number of species across spatial scales, taxonomic group, and environmental context and (2) provide practical assessment and monitoring David W.
