Database


The PRI Database is a powerful tool for improving our success at reconstructing prairies. Documentation of what occurred on a site is crucial to understanding and evaluating the outcome. By analyzing the results of many reconstructions across multiple contexts, we can better understand which factors have the greatest impact on the effectiveness of prairie reconstruction techniques and management strategies.  

Your data are important! By entering data for your site, you increase the sample size and diversity of the dataset, enable a more comprehensive analysis, and build our collective knowledge faster so that we all improve our success.

Our database is currently being transferred to a new platform and will be available to contributors in 2023.

"The PRI Database"

Pauline Drobney and Ben Walker, US Fish and Wildlife Service

The goal of the PRI Database is to augment our collective learning by preserving, referencing, and objectively analyzing a standard suite of data across many prairie reconstructions. This webinar discusses the rationale for the database and gives an overview of its data fields, intended outcomes, and how to get involved.
