Study on Management System of Environmental Monitoring Information in Afforestation Zone

According to the agreement made by Chinese Forestry Ministry and the World Bank, sixty environmental monitoring spots for National Afforestation Project have been built in China. Five data bases including context base, water and soil loss base, monitoring data summary base, soil fertility base, and disease and pest base were established through the study. FoxPro for Windows program language was used to build the environmental monitoring information system. The system consists of five function modules: monitoring spots distribution, data management, data browsing, report building and data analysis. During the processes interactive information management method was adopted and the multimedia information saving function of General was fully utilized. The programs could disengage the FoxPro system environment and run independently under Micro Soft Windows.
