TEMS v 2.3 on mini CD-ROM

14 March 2003

Please feel free to send notices (gtos@fao.org) that you would like to send out through the GTOS distribution list.

TEMS version 2.3 is now available on mini CD-ROM which contains all the latest updates to the database. TEMS now includes an additional 795 field sites which are part of the IPC-Forests (the International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forests). ICP Forests monitors the forest condition in Europe, using two different monitoring intensity levels in cooperation with the European Union. Many sites in addition to assessing the annual crown condition also measure soil condition and chemistry, foliar nutrient status, meteorological conditions, ground vegetation and the deposition of air pollutants. Currently 38 countries participate in the ICP Forests programme. Additional details in IPC-Forests can be viewed at: www.icp-forests.org/Index.htm.

If you would like a free copy of the mini CD-ROM please send your postal address to the GTOS Secretariat.
