Introduction
What to Plant Where in Ethiopia allows users to select suitable tree species and their best matching seed sources at any planting location in Ethiopia. It further gives contact information to order the seed. The seed sources included in the tool are all from Ethiopia’s National Tree Seed Source Registry, which is developed with support from the PATSPO project.
The location of the planting site is selected in the 'Planting location' TAB.
The TAB of 'Select species' chooses the species for the 'Source ranking', 'Source locations' and 'Source details' TABs.
Details on the methodology that was used to develop the App are given in the version for researchers of this App.
Planting location
Select the planting location by clicking on the map below
Selected planting location: coordinates and planting zone
Select species
Seed source ranking
Selected species (select species from the 'Select species' TAB)
Sources are ranked by environmental distance. In case of ties, geographical distance (Distance.km) is used as tie-breaker.
Seed source locations
Selected species (select species from the 'Select species' TAB)
The map shows the location of the seed sources listed in the 'Source ranking' TAB.
Seed sources are labeled by their ranking. Click on the marker to see the Seed.ID and Location.
Seed source details
The table below gives more details about a particular seed source among those seed sources available for the selected species. Sources are listed by their rankings, as documented in the 'Source ranking' TAB.
Versions
Version v.2022.12.p
- Seed sources were selected as a subset from a Seed Sources Database (SSDB) created in 2022.
- Information on bioclimatic, soil and other environmental characteristics were collated for the selected seed sources.
- Species links to the Agroforestry Species Switchboard were standardized with the current names in the 2022 update of the Switchboard.
- Included a list of all species besides lists for use categories.
Version 1.0 (2021)
- First openly released version.

This App is an output from the Provision of Adequate Tree Seed Portfolio in Ethiopia (PATSPO) project that is supported by Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative through the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Ethiopia. Additional funding came from the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees, and Agroforestry , supported by the CGIAR Trust Fund, and from Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development via support to the Transforming the Quality of Tree Planting partnership platform.
