Environmental indicators are powerful tools for tracking environmental changes, measuring environmental performance, and informing policymakers. Many diverse environmental indicators are in use or in development. The paper, co-authored by Philippe Van Cappellen, reviews recent advances in agricultural environmental indicators, and identifies areas in which they need to be improved, in particular in order to provide consistent performance and allow for comparisons, both nationally and internationally.
The paper, titled "Environmental Indicator Principium with Case References to Agricultural Soil, Water, and Air Quality and Model-Derived Indicators" was published in the Journal of Environmental Quality (doi:10.2134/jeq2017.10.0398).
