Notes

"This technical note serves as a guide for using Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) data, along with other available data, to complete evaluations of land health and related authorizations of permitted uses as required by BLM policy ... The key steps for completing a land health evaluation for a given area using AIM data include: selecting indicators for each applicable land health standard; setting benchmark values that define good conditions for each selected indicator; identifying relevant AIM plots and grouping them appropriately for analysis; and summarizing which benchmarks are or are not attained at each plot. A land health evaluation report then draws conclusions about which of the applicable land health standards are or are not achieved, with justification from AIM data and other information sources"--Page 5.
