Additional Information
Indicators are key soil or plant community characteristics that are sensitive to change in the environment. They reflect complex ecosystem processes that are too difficult or expensive to be measured directly. They provide information about the current status of rangeland ecosystems. Trends from indicators measured regularly provide clues about the response of the system to management. Soil quality indicators complement vegetation indicators and may be qualitative or quantitative.
