SRR ConceptualModel
Relationship of Ecosystem Services to Sustainability and Indicator Based
Monitoring
Linkage between questions and measurements
Important Rangeland QuestionsSustainability
Develop conceptual model
Identify Key Processes
Identify Indicators
Are Indicators Useful Over Time?
Framework
Need for a conceptual framework for interpretation
Determine if the indicator set would address critical questions
Conceptual Model
SRR Conceptual Model is not a predictive or mathematical model.
Framework for Evaluating the validity of the SRR indicator
set Explaining what the indicators mean Explaining how they integrate
States and Processes
The “State” boxes refer to the current status as assessed by the indicators tracked.
Processes are the ongoing activities and interactions within and between biophysical and socio-economic systems
Indicators used to measure processes

Conclusions
The SRR Conceptual Model needs to address interactions between ecological, social and economic components
Indicators as identified in the booklet need to be evaluated for their ability to address temporal and spatial inventory and monitoring questions
