20.05 – Definitions
Rangeland Analysis. See FSM 2210.5, Range Analysis.
Rangeland Health. Rangeland health (or rangeland condition) is the state of vegetation
and soil cover in relation to a standard or ideal for a particular rangeland type.
21 – RANGELAND ECOSYSTEM ANALYSIS
21.1 - Priorities for Analysis
The Forest Supervisor shall establish priorities for analysis considering the following factors:
1. Rangelands placement on the Allotment NEPA Rescission Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-19)
schedule.
2. Rangelands with anadromous fisheries or Threatened, Endangered or Sensitive plant
or animal habitat subject to consultation.
3. Rangelands not in desired condition. For example, rangelands with water quality
limited segments identified on State Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) lists.
4. Rangelands without a current rangeland management decision.
4. Rangelands needing to meet Forest Plan direction (standards and guidelines).
6. Rangelands with wild horse and burro and livestock conflicts.
7. Rangelands with controversial issues.
21.2 – Procedures for Analysis
Rangeland analysis should be done on a priority basis or as there is a need for information to
meet Forest Plan standards, for rangeland project decisions, for management, and/or for
maintenance and improvement of rangeland health. The degree of information analyzed will
depend upon the purpose of the analysis and the issues relevant to the analysis.
21.3 – Analysis Procedure Outline
1. Identify location and purpose for analysis, including a description of desired
conditions.
2. Identify issues relevant to the analysis.

3. Determine makeup of interdisciplinary team and intensity of analysis.
4. Compile base information about the resources and issues identified for analysis.
a. Locate existing maps or create Geographic Information System (GIS) maps from
digital ortho-quads, digital raster graphics, satellite imagery, or aerial photos.
Append associated tabular data from corporate databases. Consider the following
map layers for inclusion if warranted by issues:
(1) Land area, ownership, and rangeland management unit boundaries.
(2) Vegetation cover types, community types, and complexes. Layers may include
historic, existing, and potential descriptions.
(3) Ecological unit inventory, soil types and geology at appropriate mapping scales.
(4) Streams, lakes, ponds, seeps and springs, wells, or other water resources.
(5) Biological resources including threatened, endangered, and sensitive species or
habitat, and known wildlife grazing.
(6) Cultural or heritage resources.
(7) Recreation areas and uses, including roads, trails, gates, campgrounds, and so
forth.
(8) Monitoring sites.
b. Compile other documentation relevant to the analysis area, including but not
limited to Forest Plan guidance, previous environmental analyses, watershed
assessments, allotment management plans, annual operating instructions, permits,
resource assessments and inventories, monitoring reports, and photos.
c. If warranted, map rangelands using available technology. Different types of maps
may be produced, depending on the issues. Contact the Regional Office Rangeland
Management staff or Engineering staff for assistance in producing vegetation maps.
Local expertise in vegetation is needed to produce these maps. Compare these maps
with old digitized site analysis maps and the early 1910 and 1920 allotment maps for
long term trend determinations.
d. Map rangelands that are functioning, functioning-at-risk, or not functioning
regarding desired condition in relation to rangeland health and sustainability. Express
trend regarding desired conditions determined from changes in repeated
measurements of attributes as meeting, moving toward, or not meeting.

5. Verify mapped information, for example, present plant community or vegetative cover
types.
6. For each rangeland vegetation type within the analysis area:
a. Describe current conditions.
b. Describe reference conditions.
c. Interpret information for functionality and trend. Map interpreted information as
needed, for example, area’s functional rating and trend, desired condition descriptive
elements or attributes, areas meeting or not meeting Forest Plan Standards and
Guidelines, and management alternatives.
22 – RANGELAND HEALTH (SEC. 20.05)
Describe rangeland health through the desired condition of vegetation, soils and associated
resources for which objectives have been stated. Objectives could be stated by what desired
vegetative status is needed to achieve certain specified resource values, or it could be a
description of plant community. The desired health is the result of all combined resource values
desired on a rangeland type.
Rangeland health is defined using the terms functioning, functioning-at-risk, or not functioning
rangelands. Rangelands are functioning when they are meeting a desired condition identified in
long term specified management objectives, standards, and/or guidelines; and have the capability
across the landscape for renewal, for recovery from a wide range of disturbances, and for
retention of its ecological resilience. Rangelands are functioning-at-risk when short-term
objectives are being met but functionality criteria are not yet present. For example: if the
objective is to achieve 90 percent ground cover with the desired plants present and these
objectives are met, the rangeland is functioning. If the short-term objective is to move from 40
to 70 percent ground cover in five years (while moving toward the long term objective of 90
percent ground cover) and the desired plants are increasing with no noxious weeds present, then
satisfactory progress is being made toward meeting the long-term objective, but the rangeland is
functioning-at-risk because those long-term objectives are not yet present.
Non-functioning rangeland health occurs when the desired condition is not being met and shortterm objectives are not being achieved to move the rangeland toward the desired conditions, and
the rangeland has lost the capability across or in critical areas of the landscape for ecological
resilience.
Stable state communities in an altered health from a desired community may mean readjusting
the health and functionality criteria to what can be achieved under the current ecological
conditions.

CHAPTER 20 – RANGELAND INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS
22.1 – Upland Rangeland Health Criteria
Consider a minimum of four criteria when determining the functionality of upland rangelands:
1. Non-Native Invasive Plant Species. If non-native invasives or noxious weeds are
present, the rangeland is functioning-at-risk at best, and if the non-native invasives plant
population is abundant and/or dense, the rangeland is not functioning, even if adequate ground
cover is present. This interpretation is made because of the aggressive nature of non-native
invasives in both pristine and disturbed landscapes.
2. Ground Cover. If ground cover is greater than a described threshold to prevent
adverse soil impacts, the rangeland is functioning from a watershed sustainability standpoint. A
minimum of 60 percent ground cover is a general standard for limiting water erosion for the
Region, except for certain geologic and soil types that this criterion cannot be achieved; for
example, like the Mancos Shale. Ground cover is basal vegetation, litter, moss/lichen, or rock
greater than three-fourths inch diameter.
The minimum ground cover needed for proper functioning sustainable ecosystems for primary
vegetation cover types in the Region are (revise these for site-specificity for rangeland project
analysis or Forest Plan analysis):
Cover Type
Alpine
Aspen
Mountain Big Sagebrush
Tall Forb
Pinyon-Juniper
Mountain Mahogany
Gamble Oak
Mountain Brush
Percent Ground Cover
For Functionality
90
80
70
80
60
75
75
70
3. Shrub Cover. This rangeland health indicator only assesses the properly functioning
aspect of an entire shrub cover type and is essentially a landscape level indicator. The desired
mix of cover classes for sustainable and functional sagebrush ecosystems for all ecological
purposes and needs is:
10 percent of the sagebrush area has 0-5 percent shrub canopy cover.
50 percent of the sagebrush area has 6-15 percent shrub canopy cover.
40 percent of the sagebrush area has greater than15 percent shrub canopy cover.

FSH 2209.21 – RANGELAND ECOSYSTEM ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK
CHAPTER 20 – RANGELAND INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS
If the mix of sagebrush cover is outside the desired cover class distribution, the cover type may
be functioning at risk for the overall ecological health and diversity of a sustainable sagebrush
community at a landscape level.
4. Species Composition. Determining if the proper vegetation is present on a site is the
most difficult question in determining rangeland health. A general evaluation may be conducted
using a basic species composition list or a community or cover type; however, species lists may
need to be revised to adequately assess a site’s ability to meet more specific health or other
management objectives if the site is in a depressed stable state or if the site is occupied by
invasive species.
A rangeland site is functioning when all the desired plants are present in the desired amount.
The interpretation of desired species and amounts will change when goals change for specific
purposes, like watershed sustainability, forage production, sage grouse habitat, low risk wildfire
community, or a pleasing wildflower setting in a sagebrush community.
Exhibit 01 displays resource values ratings (RVRs) for Intermountain Region plants to assist in
determining what a desired plant community is. A watershed stability rating and forage
preference ratings are given by season and a yearlong value. To determine the current plant
community status in relation to a desired plant community a similarity analysis may performed.
Information from the Range Inventory Standardization Committee Report (1983) suggests that a
value of 75 percent similar or greater may be used to differentiate between meeting and not
meeting management objectives.
