Contingency plan developed for monitoring that details potential problems I.E. drought, flooding, and insects and serves as a guide for adaptive management decisions in grazing prescription adjustments in order to mitigate social and resource and economic effects.
Monitoring plan, developed with appropriate protocols, and records that assess whether the grazing strategy is resulting in a movement toward meeting goals and objectives, short term and long term monitoring, may be needed to determine outcomes and support timely adaptive management decisions identify the key areas, key plants, or other monitoring indicators that the manager should evaluate in making grazing management decisions
Operation and maintenance
Operation
Prescribed grazing will be applied on a continuing basis throughout the livestock occupation period of all planned grazing units.
Adaptive management decisions will be made as needed and documented within the plan to ensure that the goals and objectives of the (QOL) of the prescribed grazing strategy are being met
Maintenance
Monitoring data and grazing records will be used on a regular basis within the prescribed grazing plan to ensure that objectives are being met, or to make necessary changes in the prescribed grazing plan to meet objectives.
All facilitating and accelerating conservation practices EG CPS fence (code 382), pest management (code 595), brush management (code 314), forage and biomass planting (code 512) et cetera that are needed to affect adequate grazing and/ all browsing distribution as planned by this practice standard will be maintained in good working order and operated as intended
