+#### Browserslist configuration
+
+If the `--browserslist` option is provided, then `lightningcss` finds browserslist configuration,
+selects queries by environment and loads the resulting queries as targets.
+
+Configuration discovery and targets resolution is modeled after the original `browserslist` nodeJS package.
+The configuration is resolved in the following order:
+
+- If a `BROWSERSLIST` environment variable is present, then load targets from its value. This is analog to the `--targets` CLI option.
+  _Example:_ `BROWSERSLIST="firefox ESR" lightningcss [OPTIONS] <INPUT_FILE>`
+- If a `BROWSERSLIST_CONFIG` environment variable is present, then resolve the file at the provided path.
+  Then parse and use targets from `package.json` or any browserslist configuration file pointed to by the environment variable.
+  _Example:_ `BROWSERSLIST_CONFIG="../config/browserslist" lightningcss [OPTIONS] <INPUT_FILE>`
+- If none of the above apply, then find, parse and use targets from the first `browserslist`, `.browserslistrc`
+  or `package.json` configuration file in any parent directory.
+
+Browserslist configuration files may contain sections denoted by angular brackets `[]`.
+Use these to specify different targets for different environments.
+Targets which are not placed in a section are added to `defaults` and used if no section applies matches the environment.
+
+_Example:_
+
+```
+# Defaults, applied when no other section matches the provided environment.
+firefox ESR
+
+[staging]
+# Targets applied only to the staging environment.
+samsung >= 4
+```
+
+When using parsed configuration from `browserslist`, `.browserslistrc` or `package.json` configuration files,
+the environment determined by
+
+- the `BROWSERSLIST_ENV` environment variable if present,
+- otherwise the `NODE_ENV` environment variable if present,
+- otherwise `production` is used.
+
+If no targets are found for the resulting environment, then the `defaults` configuration section is used.

 ### Error recovery
 
 By default, Lightning CSS is strict, and will error when parsing an invalid rule or declaration. However, sometimes you may encounter a third party library that you can't easily modify, which unintentionally contains invalid syntax, or IE-specific hacks. In these cases, you can enable the `errorRecovery` option (or `--error-recovery` CLI flag). This will skip over invalid rules and declarations, omitting them in the output, and producing a warning instead of an error. You should also open an issue or PR to fix the issue in the library if possible.
