The Local Unit Criteria and Indicators Development (LUCID) test was a collaborative initiative among eight national forests, their leadership teams, and the Inventory and Monitoring Institute (IMI). IMI has a wealth of additional material available about the LUCID Test Project, its results, toolkit, and implementation strategies. To better serve diverse interests, the results of the LUCID test are presented several ways. This Management Edition, prepared with the assistance of Forest Service CAT Publishing Arts, summarizes the highlights of the LUCID test and the recommendations for implementation. The Technical Edition of the LUCID test, USDA Forest Service Inventory and Monitoring Report No. 4 (Wright et al. 2002) supplements this Management Edition and serves as a desk guide. The Technical Edition contains:
