The Seedlot Selection Tool (SST)

Match Sites and Seedlots With Future Climates

The Seedlot Selection Tool (SST) is a GIS mapping program designed to help forest managers match seedlots with planting sites based on climatic information. The climates of the planting sites can be chosen to represent current climates, or future climates based on selected climate change scenarios. It covers the entire continental USA, Canada, Alaska, and Mexico. The tool is a result of collaboration between scientists from the U.S. Forest Service, Oregon State University, and developers and communication specialists from the Conservation Biology Institute
