Rangeland Monitoring Frame and Construction Guide
The objective of rangeland vegetation trend monitoring is to document changes over time in vegetation or other rangeland resources. Common methods often used together throughout Arizona and the west include Point Ground Cover, Pace Frequency, Dry-Weight Rank, and Comparative Yield. Further details regarding these methods and ground rules can be found in Sampling Vegetation Attributes (Interagency Technical Manual, 1996), Guide to Rangeland Monitoring and Assessment (Smith et al., 2012), or Southeastern Arizona Monitoring Program: Methods and Ground Rules (McReynolds and Brischke, 2015).
