AB  - Using established protocols and thereby applying a systematic approach to monitoring roadside revegetation projects can increase the quality of monitoring information and reduce the amount of field and office time. We present a guide to developing a simple monitoring plan, selecting monitoring protocols, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting findings in a monitoring report. The approach is demonstrated in a case study. Also included is a brief description of a monitoring protocol we developed that uses a digital camera and a computer program called the Cover Monitoring Assistant (CMA) to facilitate a quick assessment of soil and vegetative cover information from digital photographs.
