The Ecological Site Description database is an internet based program for entering, storing, and retrieving ecological site description information. Ecological site descriptions for rangeland and forestland can be entered into the database. Once a site description has been entered it is immediately available for viewing by anyone. Entering or editing data requires a login and password. These will be distributed to appropriate specialists in each state. The remainder of the presentation will review the different sections of the ecological site description, data elements associated with each section, and how the data can be entered into the site. With the increased use of the internet there is a greater demand to have information such as the Ecological Site Description available and easily accessible.
