"Enhancement" means a type of conservation activity used to treat natural
resources and improve conservation performance. Enhancements are installed at a
level of management intensity that exceeds the sustainable level for a given
resource concern, and those directly related to a practice standard are applied
in a manner that exceeds the minimum treatment requirements of the standard.
