The average <br />annual production of air-dry vegetation is 1150 pounds per acre. If the <br />' ~4 , condition of the range deteriorates, Cambel oak, pinyon, and juniper <br />I <br />increase. Steepness of slope limits access by livestock and promotes <br />~._ overgrazing of the less sloping areas. Trails or walkways can be con- <br />structed in places to encourage livestock grazing in areas where access <br />is limited. Use of mechanical treatment practices is not practical because <br />[he surface is stony and the slopes are steep. <br />_ rnis unit is suited to the limited production of firewood, fence <br />posts, Christmas trees, and pinyon nuts. Steepness of slope seriously _. <br />limits access for harvesting. <br />'fl~is unit is poorly suited to l~omcsite development. IC is limited <br />_ mainly by steepness of slope and depth to bedrock. <br />This unit is in capability subclass VIIe nonirriga[ed. IC is 65 <br />percent Pinyon-Juniper woodland site and 35 percent Rocky Foothills range <br />site. <br /> <br /> <br />
