Title: Ecosystem indicators
Description: The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) assigned an "Action Team" the task of facilitating the use of indicators for planning and implementation activities within the agency. While the state-of-the-art in the use of indicators to assess ecosystem processes is not well advanced there are some indicators that can be useful today. The Team developed a model to direct the selection of indicators for use in evaluations of ecosystem condition. The Team also developed a preliminary set of indicators and recommendations for their further development and use.
