Environmental analysis is used to study the environment. It is used to monitor and study levels of pollutants in the atmosphere, rivers and other specific settings. Environmental analysis techniques include biological surveys or, soil test, vegetation surveys, tree identification, and remote sensing. Biological surveys typically include a measurement of the abundance of a certain species within a certain area to ascertain information about the ecosystem for specific reasons. A soil test may involve chemical analysis, but most often soil tests involve removing a section of soil to understand what each layer of soil is composed of for specific reasons. A vegetation survey is quite similar to a bio survey because one is measuring the abundance of plant species and trees within a specific area to understand more about the ecosystem for specific reasons. Remote sensing can be used to identify land use, it can be used to determine damages from forest fires.
