Recent reports have identified the potential lack of qualified scientists and technicians as a major concern in ensuring that basic ecological research can be undertaken. This research is of primary importance in addressing current environmental issues. Neither the scientific nor the policy-making communities know the demographics of trained ecologists in the United States. There is no document identifying the number of ecologists employed and their areas of specialization. Educators, government agencies and research institutions need to know what training is required for the next generation of scientists. The Ecological Society of America, Public Affairs Office, will develop, publish, and distribute a survey assessing the human resources in ecology. The objectives of the study are to determine the pattern of graduate ecology degrees earned over the past 30 years; determine ethnicity and gender composition of ecologists (This information would be compared to the demographic composition of the work force as a whole); catalog the nation's environmental science capabilities according to problem area (eg. how many scientists are trained to study the ecological complexity of global change); and analyze current employment patterns of ecologists. The resulting human resource survey would provide direction to ecologists, other scientists, federal and state agencies, educators, and research institution in setting goals and designing programs over the next decade.

最近的报告指出， 科学家和技术人员作为一个主要关注的问题， 可以进行基本的生态研究。这项研究是 解决当前环境问题的首要任务。 科学界和决策界都不知道 美国受过训练的生态学家的人口统计数据。有 没有文件确定雇用的生态学家人数， 他们的专业领域。教育工作者、政府机构和 研究机构需要了解需要哪些培训 下一代科学家。 美国生态学会公共事务办公室将 开发、发布和分发一份评估人类健康状况的调查报告， 生态资源。研究的目的是 确定研究生生态学学位的模式， 过去30年;确定 生态学家（这些信息将与人口统计数据进行比较） 劳动力的组成作为一个整体）;编目国家的 根据问题领域的环境科学能力（例如， 有多少科学家被训练来研究 全球变化的复杂性）;并分析当前的就业情况 生态学家的模式由此产生的人力资源调查将 为生态学家、其他科学家、联邦和 国家机构、教育工作者和研究机构 在未来十年内制定目标和设计方案。
