Updated framework

"All models are wrong, but some are useful." - G.E.P. Box

"Box and arrows won't get rid of cedar, but a box of matches will" - John Weir, 2006 (cited by Fuhlendorf)

I continue to update the framework using concepts derived from the existing framework, the SLC workshop, and the literature (using STM literature and threshold literature). My hope is to produce an updated framework that coincides nearly perfectly - in terms of concepts - with an updated table.

Here is the current draft framework (9.22.08). Click on the images to enlarge.



And the corresponding draft Threshold Attribute Table.

I like the figure - but need to consider it further. One suggestion: See if you think it's worthwhile to illustrate the notion that the 'reference state' will drift due to climate change....and whether there is a useful way to include this concept in the table. I'll send some additional material for clarification.
