Integration of social, ecological and economic information is a key component of the SRR approach to rangeland sustainability assessment, and SRR seeks to promote integrated social, economic, and ecological rangeland sustainability research. The SRR endeavors to facilitate coordinated rangeland monitoring, analysis and data management. The conceptual framework developed by SRR to depict interrelationships among social, economic, and ecological indicator information has been published in peer-reviewed literature and guides SRR’s thinking about comprehensive rangeland assessment. Materials related to the conceptual framework are linked below, and SRR will continue the evolution and testing of the SRR conceptual model to improve rangeland assessments.
