The Sustainable Rangelands Roundtable (SRR) has developed a set of economic indicators for rangeland sustainability. Applying those indicators to specific issues for rangeland assessment is largely untested. We have been working with various groups in testing our conceptual framework. One effort has been in the area of climate change adaptation. The framework was adapted for use by the Grassslands/Rangelands Indicators Technical Team to develop a prototype indicator system for the U.S. Global Change Research Program, National Climate Assessment. A subset of SRR's economic indicators were selected based upon available data and how they fit into the overall structure being evaluated by the technical team. Additionally, the economic indicators will be adapted to a study on food security from rangelands as affected by various stressors such as climate change, wildfires, and urbanization.
