Table 2.

A management classification system was created during the sWorm wokshops.

Management Intensity measure Annual crops Integrated systems Perennial crops Pastures (grazed lands) Tree plantations
Tillage × ×
Pesticide × × × × ×
Fertilizer × × × × ×
Selectively harvested × ×
Clear cut × ×
Fire × × × × ×
Stocking rate ×
Grazing all-year ×
Rotation × × ×
Monoculture × × × × ×
Planted ×

For each managed site (i.e., not natural vegetation) the management system could also be identified (table headers), and additional management intensity variables could be also captured (table rows). However, not every management intensity variable was applicable for each management system, thus restrictions were placed. ‘×’ indicates which management intensity variable was applicable to each management system.
