Website Title	The Jornada (New Mexico)
Website Summary	The management of land resources, in the southwestern U.S. and more broadly across the US and on all continents, is challenged by three central problems: 1. What practices and technologies can be developed and used to improve land productivity and its provision of ecological goods and services?, 2. How can science best inform land managers in their application of conservation practices for land management?, and 3. Can we predict how land-based resources will respond to present and future climatic conditions? Jornada has organized their research program into six central themes which span from basic ecological and agricultural studies (long-term ecological research (LTER), and long-term agricultural research (LTAR)) to technologies (ecological site descriptions) and tools (assessment and monitoring, and the landscape toolbox) that can be utilized to address land management problems. In addition, they have assembled thousands of data sets linked directly to their program or from other research locations or management agencies that have application to solving these problems. Their intent is to provide science-based information, tools, technologies, and data sets that can be used, through simple or more complex analyses, to inform the various users, stakeholders, and the public in their application of management practices and development of policies related to land management.
