Abstract
Ecological site descriptions (ESDs) are intended to provide the best available information relevant to a particular type of land and therefore should draw on multiple sources of information and expertise. We surveyed participants from 16 interagency ESD projects to understand better the process, benefits, challenges, and keys to success for collaborative ESD development. Collaborative ESD development involves federal and state agencies, universities, nongovernmental organizations, private landowners, and consultants and provides perceived benefits that greatly outweigh the challenges. The results of this study may improve the transparency and credibility of ESD development by encouraging the inclusion of diverse stakeholders.
