11. The DENE definition for monitoring is: “Watching, Listening, Learning” the “Things That Are Changing”*
*A. Garibaldi (pers. comm.)

12. Measuring And Monitoring

13. General Expectations From Monitoring (forests)
Is there any measurable effect of air pollution on forest productivity or health?
Detection
If there is, how serious is the effect and how will it progress?
Quantification
If air pollutant exposure leading to the effect is diminished, will forest health improve and productivity improve in the future?
Understanding processes and resilience \
