- Title
Bridging Data Gaps through Modeling and Evaluation of Surrogates: Use of the Best Available Science to Protect Biological Diversity Under the National Forest Management Act.

Glicksman, Robert L.
- Abstract
The article explores the implementation of the National Forest Management Act (NFMA) by the U.S. National Forest Service (NFS) to show the effect of using scientific models and surrogates on biodiversity. It explains the efforts of the agency to apply best available science mandates and surrogates to accomplish its task to protect plant and animal diversity in the national forests. The author stresses the need for a regulatory program to apply mechanisms to insure that the agency responsible for such scheme will remain accountable.
