[PCA] Getting Climate-Smart with Seeds: How a New Software Tool Helps Prepare Landscapes for Expected Future Conditions

[De Angelis, Patricia]

To help restore and protect sagebrush ecosystems, scientists at the USDA
Rocky Mountain Research Station and elsewhere have utilized research
gardens and climate projections to help develop a software tool called the
Climate-Smart Restoration Tool. The Tool, which launched in June, is
helping land and resource managers to match seeds with geographic areas, or
“seed zones,” under current and projected environmental conditions, to
guide ecosystem restoration efforts.  Learn more:
