Conteúdo: 	Australia's extensive rangelands are an essential natural resource utilized by the meat and fiber industries. Mismanagement has caused damage to parts of these rangelands, as evident from losses of perennial forage plants, increases in unpalatable shrubs, decreases in the efficiency of livestock production and in the loss of topsoil. Resource managers need information on how to assess if degradation has occurred and, if so, how to restore degraded areas, and if degradation has not occurred how to manage the resource to prevent degradation. FORSITE is a personal computer package aimed to provide information and decision support for rangeland managers. An essential component of this package is a hypertext information system which assists resource managers in assessing the current state, and future risk of degradation, as well as planning for the restoration and prevention of degradation. The structure and functionality of this FORSITE hypertext information system is described. An important feature of this information system is that it provides the knowledge-base for building rule-based expert systems.
