Agriculture- and recreation-based industries appear to be two of the primary sector groups of the economy related to rangelands and rangeland sustainability. While neither occurs exclusively on rangelands, tracking what happens to them in rangeland-dominated counties should indicate the pressures being placed on rangelands. As population grows and economies change, we expect there to be a differential effect on rangelands. Of course, the values that comprise this indicator will only reflect production that flows through the economy. Nonmarket values that accrue to people from such things as recreation (beyond that captured in markets) and ecosystem services provided by rangelands will be missed by this indicator.
