The wheel is a tool designed to assist restoration managers in evaluating the degree to which the ecosystem under treatment is recovering over time. This evaluation should be performed comparing the attribute of the degraded system to its reference ecosystem. The evaluation of each attribute is an assessment of the similarity to the reference ecosystem. A practitioner with a high level of familiarity with the goals, objectives and site specific indicators set for the project and the recovery levels achieved to date can assign the value for each sub-attribute after formal or informal evaluation.
