2.04.9 <br />In the Absarokee soil, permeability is moderately slow and available water <br />capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about 30 inches. Surface runoff is <br />rapid. The hazard of erosion from wind is slight and from water is moderate <br />to high. <br />On the Absarokee soil the native vegetation consists mainly of Gambel oak, <br />serviceberry, big sagebrush, and snowbeny. Wheatgrasses, pine dropseed, <br />needle grasses, brome, and needleandthread are common grasses. <br />Most areas of this association are used for grazing by livestock and wildlife <br />and for recreational purposes. <br />Because of steepness of slope, the Absarokee soil is unsuited to crops and <br />reseeding of depleted or burned areas in native vegetation is not feasible by <br />conventional methods. A fair degree of success can be expected by <br />broadcasting seed for nonirrigated plantings of grasses in spring or fall. <br />Smooth brome, pubescent wheatgrass, and crested wheatgrass are adapted <br />species. Good pasture management should be practiced to maintain the <br />grasses. <br />The potential plant community on the Absarokee soil consists mainly of <br />Gambel oak, mountain brome, nodding brome, slender wheatgrass, and elk <br />sedge. As range condition deteriorates, mountain brome, nodding brome, <br />slender wheatgrass, and elk sledge decrease, forbs and woody shrubs <br />increase, and undesirable weeds and annual plants invade and become <br />more abundant. <br />On some sites, control of competing shrubs is required to improve range <br />condition. Seedbed or brushed areas should be fenced. <br />The Absarokee soil is used for winter range by mule deer and elk. Some <br />important plant species which can be managed for optimum production are <br />bitterbrush, mountain mahogany, Gambel oak, serviceberry, and elk sedge. <br />Berry- producing shrubs are an important habitat element for black bear. This <br />soil provides habitat for Merriam turkey, blue grouse and band - tailed pigeon. <br />PR -14 2.04-75- 03/14 <br />
