Ecosystem analysis has become a major scientific approach which was very much enforced by the International Biological Program (IBP) the aim of which being the evaluation of biomass production in different climates and vegetation types and the quantitative determination of the flow of energy, water, and chemical components in order to lead to a better understanding of food chains, natural successions, and interactions of biota with abiotic environment.

Another major effort to link pollutant levels with ecosystem effects is sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Marine Ecosystems Analysis (MESA) program conducts monitoring surveys off both the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts which focus on determining the long-term ecological effects of exposure of marine biota to petroleum constituents. These data are published in papers and in MESA reports.
