figure - Various methods of establishing reference state for ecosystem integrity. These are expressed along gradients of degree of representation of the natural reference state and feasibility of implementing the method in most contemporary ecosystems

schematic - Flow diagram of the recommended approach for tracking indicators of ecosystem integrity

figure - Representation of the concept of ecosystem integrity in the context of the ecosystem and controlling state factors. (A) An ecosystem is characterized by its structure, function, and composition as influenced by broad-scale state factors such as climate. (B) Ecosystem integrity represents the condition of elements of ecosystem structure, function, and composition in the current period relative to that characteristic of the ecosystem prior to modern human influence. The trend line depicts declines in ecosystem integrity during a contemporary monitoring period
