-Plants for Erosion Control
VegSpec is a web-based decision support system that assists land managers in the planning and design of vegetative establishment practices. VegSpec utilizes soil, plant, and climate data to select plant species that are (1) site-specifically adapted, (2) suitable for the selected practice, and (3) appropriate for the purposes and objectives for which the planting is intended- See the Veg Spec Web Site .

-Web Soil Survey Instructions
The Web Soil Survey (WSS) is on the internet at: http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/.
The site has three basic steps, which make WSS a simple yet powerful way to access and analyze soil data.  The steps are “Define”, “View”, and “Explore”.  In the “Define” step the user selects the Area of Interest (AOI) on an appropriate map that identifies their development site location.  The AOI tab on the website allows the user to define that area. Users can define an area by zooming in on a map and drawing a box around an area or by selecting it from a choice list. The user must complete this step before they can go on to the next two steps.  In the “View” step, the user clicks on the Soil Map tab to view and print a map of the soils in their area of interest.  In the “Explore” step or third step the user can click on the “Soil Data Explorer” tab to access soil data for their area of interest.  In this step the user can determine the suitability of the soils in an area for a particular use.  The Web Soil Survey web site has many help screens and a “Web Soil Survey- How to use it” file in PDF format that offers help and support on using the site.  Like most new concepts, a little patience is needed to learn the ins and outs of the system, but with a little effort most people become masters of the site with a few brief trial runs.
