{\textbullet} The BLM Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) strategy recommends five principles for building multiscale monitoring programs: standardized methods and indicators; data management and stewardship; appropriate sample designs; remote sensing integration; and structured implementation. These principles guide monitoring across public lands.

{\textbullet} We find the AIM principles are sound and worthy of consideration for design and adaptation of rangeland monitoring programs worldwide.

{\textbullet} An emergent principle, standard workflows and analysis frameworks for using data, connects data to land management decision-making and empowers land managers.

{\textbullet} The AIM principles inspire and provide opportunities for the rangeland management community to implement adaptive management.},

	abstract = {<p>Cover poles, also called Robel poles, are used to measure a variety of structural vegetation attributes commonly used in wildlife and livestock management. Although cover pole dimensions, measurement criteria, and interpretation of cover pole data vary depending on measurement objectives, the technical use of cover poles is fairly consistent. Practical use of cover poles requires that they are sturdy, lightweight, and easily transported. We describe a cover pole apparatus that can be easily constructed, transported, and assembled for use in remote locations. This self-supporting cover pole enables one person to take measurements, and can be modified for use in multiple habitats and soil types.</p>
