Monitoring is a collection, analysis and interpretation of resource information used to document changes in key areas on rangelands over time.  Monitoring can be applied to any actions to determine if the goals and objectives are being met.  The objective here will be to emphasize the importance of rangeland monitoring.  Land managers and ranchers often would like to see the rangelands they own or managed be sustainable and productive to provide for livestock and wildlife grazing.  Monitoring provides a basis for rangeland management, planning, inventory and assessment.   The presentation would also include the timing and frequency of monitoring, selection of attributes and methods. Keywords: monitoring, key areas, timing, frequency, attributes.
