G. breeding condition). It is important therefore to bear in mind the temporal aspects of plant and animal activity and condition if an ecological evaluation is based in part on species richness or species diversity. The time (time of day and time of year) of data collection or sampling must be made known. 1 The concepts Rarity, threatened and endangered are in common use in conservation texts and not surprisingly there have been many attempts to define these categories (Fitter and Fitter, 1987 give a very good review).
Ecosystem stabilization values: Intensively managed monocultures have high yields but at the risk of disease and attack by pests Increased species richness could help to reduce pest and disease infestation 4. Examples of survival: It may make good sense to look at successful natural communities for clues about organization of traits leading to persistence or survival 5. Environmental baseline and monitoring values: Monitoring ecological change requires baseline data and is particularly appropriate to conservation.
6. Establishment of priorities for conservation. 1 Land evaluation Land evaluation and assessment is a process whereby the potential use or suitability of the land for various purposes or alternatives uses are assessed on the basis of certain criteria. Those uses include building houses, agriculture, forestry, water resources, recreation, landscape conservation and nature conservation. Methods of evaluation have been developed for all these uses and these evaluations are very important for planning the best use of the land and for devising the best management options, particularly because there are so many competing demands on the land.
