The elements of the wetland integrity pillar are the hydrologic function,
composition, and structure. The Southern California RRK has metrics for one
element, wetland composition. The condition score for the wetland integrity
pillar is represented by the average of the condition scores for this element.

* Metric Name: Pillar Representation  

* Unit Of Measure: Condition score, +1 to -1  

* Translation: Where is wetland integrity high?  

* Translation method and outcome: Raw data values translated to range from +1 to -1 representing more favorable to less favorable conditions, respectively. **** The proposition of more favorable is based on the objective of greater wetland integrity.
