stimulated to stronger growth by close grazing. White clover is rich in readily <br />accessible nectar and hence is of considerable economic value to beekeepers (U.S. <br />Forest Service, 1937). <br />Ranee Site C <br />The second proposed species mix is for range site C (Table 3.6-8). Range site C <br />and SCS climatic zone VII occur at approximately the same elevation i.e. below <br />6700 feet. For revegetation purposes, all lands that are not to be returned to <br />cropland, and which occur below an elevation of approximately 6700 feet will uti- <br />lize the species mix in Table 3.6-8. A large share of the revegetated rangelands <br />during the life of the permit will be revegetated with this species mix. <br />The introduced plant species in this species mix include fairway crested <br />wheatgrass, Agropyron cristatum; tall wheatgrass, A. elongatum; pubescent <br />wheatgrass, A. trichophorum; Russian wild rye, Elymus junceus; sicklepod <br />milkvetch, Astragalus titer; alfalfa, Medicago saliva; small burnet, Sanguisorbe <br />• minor. An evaluation of specific characteristics for each species is presented <br />in Tables 3.6-1a through 3.6-1e, and 3.6-2a through 3.6-2e. A discussion of the <br />utility of each species not previously discussed for Range Site B.follows. <br />3-136a <br />REVISED FEB 13 '97 <br />
