The Collaborative Delphi

Helen Ivy Rowe

Purpose

To better represent SRR at the ESA meeting and to elicit ideas for new example topics we used the Delphi process.

Outreach efforts

Lori Hidinger led a SRR workshop at this years ESA meetings. Delphi was used to define the feedback SRR needed at this meeting. We asked for knowledge or data gaps or other issues.Lori incorporated this feedback in the ESA discussion.

Examples

Two examples of indicator relevance have been drafted by the SRR for use in outreach efforts.

We asked participants to list some ideas for future examples to be considered by an example working group (to be formed).

Ideas

Riparian and wetland health < versus condition >, watershed management and watershed healthSystems at risk or threatened by future impairmentSocial science examples (population loss in the Great Plains, suburban encroachment)Rangeland conversion, urbanization on rangelands

More ideas

Recreational use on rangelands

Historical impacts of irrigation projects

Implications of protected/managed rangelands on rangeland uses

Non forage plant materials
