We need to monitor the capacity of healthy rangeland to support a broad suite of ecosystem services for a wide range of stakeholders ? in a fair, objective and representative way. Social, economic and cultural needs, values and expectations will be examined together with the biophysical technologies and approaches which underlie auditing in rangeland science. Adaptive frameworks which enhance sustainable strategic responses, and the state of art in scale dilemmas will be addressed. A hybrid session structure will be utilised: distilling wisdom from relevant posters; formal presentations; and stimulating structured debate.
