The BLM Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) strategy recommends five principles for building multiscale monitoring programs: standardized methods and indicators; data management and stewardship; appropriate sample designs; remote sensing integration; and structured implementation. These principles guide monitoring across public lands. We find the AIM principles are sound and worthy of consideration for design and adaptation of rangeland monitoring programs worldwide. An emergent principle, standard workflows and analysis frameworks for using data, connects data to land management decision-making and empowers land managers. The AIM principles inspire and provide opportunities for the rangeland management community to implement adaptive management. © 2021Type
