Notes

"Multiple Indicator Monitoring (MIM) of Stream Channels and Streamside Vegetation was developed to provide information for managers, landowners, and others to actively manage riparian resources. Through 6 years of testing, continuous improvements have been made to this protocol to minimize subjectivity while maintaining a reasonable level of precision and accuracy ... Indicators and procedures in this protocol were selected and developed primarily to monitor impacts of livestock and other large herbivores on wadable streams. This protocol integrates annual grazing use and long-term trend indicators allowing for evaluation of livestock grazing management. The MIM protocol was developed and tested on relatively low-gradient (less than 4 percent), perennial snowmelt-dominated spring-fed streams in the Western United States and is most applicable to those systems"--Page 1.

Contents: I. Introduction -- II. Select the designated monitoring area (DMA) -- III. Locate the greenline -- IV. Measure indicators using systematic procedures and metrics -- V. Use the data entry and analysis modules and the MIM database -- VI. Analyze, interpret, and evaluate monitoring data -- Appendices.
