Monitoring

Once a plan is developed and the identified practices are being applied the resource needs to be monitored to see if the desired changes are occurring.

Monitoring may be short term such as observation of the grazing use levels on specified plants to help make immediate management decisions such as moving livestock. To determine if the desired changes in the plant community are occurring will require longer term monitoring that will show changes in the numbers ,kinds ,and vigor of the plants in the community as well as impacts on habitat , water , soil ,and animals.
