1. A Framework for Ecosystem Management in the Interior Clumbia Basin∥　　 　 Richard W.Haynes.-p4 　 Potential land-management strategies can be evaluated when a framework　 　 for the four constants in the planning process-monitoring， assessment，　 　 decisionmaking， and implementation-is established 2. ICBEMP: Landscape Dynamics∥Wendel J.Hann.-p10 　 Active management to restore the interior Columbia River basin can　　　 　 prevent short-term fragmentation and long-term simplifica-tion of　　　 　 landscape systems caused by traditional commodity and reserve system　　 　 strategies 3. ICBEMP: Aquatic Species an dHabitats∥Danny C.Lee.-p16 　 Land-management strategies in a region in which many native fish　　　　 　 species are imperiled begin with an assessment of the integrity of　　　 　 aquatic systems 4. ICBEMP: Terrestrial Species and Habitats∥Martin G.Rapbael.-p22 　 It may be more effective to identify and manage for functional groups　 　 of species with similar ecological functions， rather than individual　　 　 keystone species， in the interior Columbia River basin 5. ICBEMP: Social and Economic Systems∥Ricbard W.Haynes.-p28 　 Population growth is changing economic and social systems in the　　　　 　 interior Columbia basin， generally for the better， although some　　　　 　 isolated， resource-dependent communities lag behind 6. ICBEMP: Using an Ecoregion Assessment for Integrated Policy Analysis∥　 　 Tbomas M.Quigley.-p33 　 Active forest management offers the gratest chance both to produce　　　 　 needed goods and services for interior Columbia basin residents and to　 　 maintain or restore ecological integrity 7. Public Comment on the ICBEMP Process∥Catby Humpbrey.-p39 　 Comments from individuals and groups were so extensive that a special　 　 content analysis team was formed to distill the letters'information　　 　 and opinions for use by the project's scientists 8. A Summary of SAF's Comments on ICBEMP∥Larry Hill.-p40 　 SAF analysts concur that the plan falls short in addressing local　　　 　 concerns and meshing with current agency decisionmaking processes 9. Seven Suggestions for Revising ICBEMP∥Jay O'Laugblin.-p42 　 SAF affiliates in the region conclude that the project subordinates　　 　 sustainable production to vague notions like ecosystem integrity and　　 　 relies on expert opinion rather than scientific research
