Rangeland Health [1]
The Jornada Experimental Range co-developed a qualitative assessment protocol for rangelands (Interpreting Indicators of Rangeland Health), which is being applied globally. In this protocol, evaluators assess three ecosystem attributes by rating 17 indicators tied to the attributes. The ecosystem attributes are: soil and site stability, biotic integrity and hydrological function.
