Human prompted improvement actions are brought with inadequate realization to their outcomes for our residing atmosphere, even in situations the place environmental tests were conducted. This obvious loss of recognition to biodiversity in environmental review is rooted within the problems we have now in correctly addressing biodiversity in the scope, timeframe and finances allotted for tests.

The history of the Great Lakes provides not only some particularly good information on responses to man-made enrichment, but also on responses of fish populations to fishing pressure. The eutrophication experience touched on above can be viewed as an example of systems changes in driving variables and parameters, whereas the fishing example is more an experiment in changing state variables. The fisheries of the Great Lakes have always selectively concentrated on abundant species that are in high demand.
