The Land Treatment Exploration Tool website was recently updated to include many improvements and new features.

The main new feature is the Seasonal Drought Forecast Tool. The new Drought Tool forecasts seasonal weather and soil water availability for the upcoming year to help plan treatments. Also included are predicted establishment metrics for sagebrush seedlings.

USGS Land Treatment Digital Library Data Release: A centralized archive for land treatment tabular and spatial data (ver. 6.0, August 2023)

Across the country, public land managers make hundreds of decisions each year that influence landscapes and ecosystems within the lands they manage. Many of these decisions involve vegetation manipulations known as land treatments. Land treatments include activities such as removal or alteration of plant biomass, seeding burned areas, and herbicide applications. Data on these land treatments histo
