Part 5: Setting Realistic Objectives and Goals
Ecological Sites
Knowing the ecological site classification(s)
for your ranch is important in establishing management objectives
based on the potential of the land to produce resources. Similar
ecological sites support similar plant communities. The ecological
site designation for your land will identify the potential natural
plant community for your land.
In practical terms, you will establish management objectives based
on the potential for your land as established by the ecological site
classification. State or federal agencies involved in planning your
monitoring program can help you identify and designate the ecological
site(s) present on your ranch.
