What is the purpose of the wiki pages?
The wiki page for each method serves several purposes. First and foremost, it is intended to be an easy-to-understand summary of the method with a discussion of its advantages/disadvantages, rangeland uses, and references. Second, the wiki page is link to more information on the subject including who you might get in touch with to learn more about it. Third, the wiki page is a place for you to share your experiences with a particular method and thereby increase the usefulness of the wiki to everybody. It’s also important to state what the wiki pages are NOT. They aren’t intended to be a comprehensive source of information on a method – just a summary of the important points and uses. As such, the purpose of the Methods Guide is not to replace existing manuals that document methods and protocols, but rather to supplement them. Likewise, the wiki pages are NOT intended to teach you how to do a particular method either. That’s the job of the manuals, technical references, and training.
