Welcome to the
Ecological Site Description (ESD) System
for Rangeland and Forestland Data
Anyone may view reports of approved Ecological Site Descriptions. To view the
various reports select a State or MLRA or both and Submit. From the
subsequent list, select the ESD you wish to view.
Major Land Resource Areas (MLRA) are a portion of the spatial framework
utilized by the Natural Resources Conservation Service in the planning,
design, implementation, and evaluation of natural resource management
activities. MLRA boundaries reflect nearly homogenous areas of landuse,
elevation, topography, climate, water resources, potential vegetation,
and soils.
If you need assistance in locating the MLRA, click on the MLRA Explorer
link below The MLRA Explorer is an interactive map-based application
of USDA Agriculture Handbook 296. With the tools in this application,
you can:
(1) search for your MLRA by entering your State and County;
(2) search for LRRs and MLRAs using a variety of geographical
and textual queries.
