Funds building monthly drought forecast maps that tell rangeland managers when restoration will likely succeed.

Two things get built. First, wall-to-wall monthly forecasts of soil drought and seed-establishment odds across the wester…

Also synthesises published research on what conditions key restoration species need to establish.
