SRR Conceptual Model Relationship of Ecosystem Services to Sustainability and Indicator Based Monitoring

A Model of What? The Slinky Experiment Your Health

Linkage between questions and measurements Important Rangeland Questions Sustainability Develop conceptual model Identify Key Processes Identify Indicators Are Indicators Useful Over Time?

Indicator Development Develop the Indicators based upon issues

Framework Need for a conceptual framework for interpretation Determine if the indicator set would address critical questions

The Challenge Important to integrate bio-physical and human components Reason for workshop is to help integrate the components

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
