literature in this area, several reports that may have a bearing on the SPS program have been identified. These studies imply that, at least at very high-level exposures, some plants have increased susceptibility to drought and decreased productivity, and avian species may be subject to increased lethality, decreased reproductive success, and alteration in normal behavior. Data do not exist on the ecological effects of continuous, low-level exposures expected to be associated with SPS. Figure 1.3 illustrates the kinds of efects that may present ecological hazards. As a first step, a comprehensive review and critical interpretation of the literature on the ecological effects of microwaves will be conducted. A computer-retrievable information system will be developed that will allow a systematic analysis of the information available. From the results of this analysis, ecological research protocols will be formulated that will provide the key information for evaluating effects in the critical ecological systems. Fig. 1.3.
