One tool we leverage to assess a site’s recovery over time is the ‘Recovery Wheel’ developed by the Society for Ecological Restoration.
The 5-star scale indicates the level of recovery in a given ecosystem and the Recovery Wheel provides a dynamic way to evaluate and visualize ecosystem recovery over time.
