Ecological Site Development: Accelerating the Effort

Abstract

Ecological site descriptions (ESDs) have unmatched potential as rangeland classification tools with practical management applications. Yet despite their great potential, the majority of ESDs cur- rently lack sufficient detail to satisfy the needs of land man- agers, researchers, and other ESD users. Fortunately, however, a notable increase in the tools, resources, and support needed for ESD development promises to improve the concepts, delivery, and application of this important management resource.
