RPS Ecological Indicator Reference Sheets

Many of the recovery potential indicators from the indicator summaries table have been studied and documented more intensively than others. These Ecological indicators each have their own indicator reference sheet PDF files that contain a formatted half-page of standardized information (name, definition, relevance to recovery potential, how measured, data sources and developmental status) followed by a multi-page list of excerpts from restoration literature and practice that pertain to the specific indicator. Click on any of the indicators listed below to be connected with its indicator reference sheet in PDF (About PDF) format.
