Environmental Bioindicators will seek to explore the scientific bases and uses of bioindicators and biomarkers of environmental stressors as they relate directly to specific measurable effects in ecological (both floral and faunal) and human populations. Emphasis is placed on the application of these indicators as tools to help in understanding the probability that the presence of a stressor in the ambient environment may produce an adverse effect in exposed receptors or populations, the degree of harm that may be indicated, and the integration of these data to characterize environmental health. Inherent in this approach is the objective of providing an empirically-derived foundation to help define environmental health and requisite protection, management or restoration needs, and from which responsible action, including informed and cost-effective regulatory endpoints, can be developed.
