The IBP, as a worldwide programme seeking to expand and co-ordinate
biological research, needed to provide for the protection of sites
and species for future scientific study. The IBP 'check-sheet'
survey was therefore devised as a tool for gathering information,
allowing areas to be evaluated on a comparative basis. In this was
it was possible to examine the extent to which scientifically
adequate samples of the main types of natural biological systems
were already protected, for example in national parks and nature
reserves. The method chosen used a questionnaire approach but on an
enormous scale, creating an extremely valuable report on the
procedure of biological surveying, the successes and shortcomings
of which are examined critically. This 1980 volume explains the
procedures adopted in the check-list survey and the problems of
securing adequate descriptions of types of vegetation and soil and
suitable methods of information storage and retrieval.
