Abstract

The Watershed Condition Framework (WCF) will help national forests assess and prioritize activities, and measure progress towards improved watershed condition. The USDA Forest Service also expects restoration to create social and economic benefits. However, strategies for assessing, integrating, or tracking these dimensions were not explicitly incorporated into the WCF. We offer some strategies to help integrate socioeconomic and biophysical dimensions of restoration.
