-Wildlife interpretations,general narrative,updated(Provisional"+").Interpretations for
individual plant community states/phases,pending.Pending PK updates...
-Individual Plant Community phase interpretations removed,and will be updated at next
"Approved"level.
Livestock Interpretations:
-Updated to reflect the Plant Community name revisions.The Stocking rate calculations remain the same since they are based on the
"Previously Approved"Total Annual Production table.
-The stocking rate calculations will be updated when Total Annual Production and Plant
Community annual production is revised at the next"Approved"level.
Hydrology:
From"Previously Approved"ESD(2004).Will be updated at next"Approved"level.
An updated hydrology model will need to be developed at the next"Approved"level.
Other Site Interpretations:
-Recreational Uses,Wood Products,Other Products,and Plant Preferences table,and
Rangeland Health Reference Sheet carried over from"Previously Approved"ESD(2004).
Rangeland Health Reference Sheet:
-From"Previously Approved"ESD(2004).Will be updated at the"Approved"level.
Note:There is a small extent of Salt Meadow in LRU C.
"Future work,as described in a project plan,to validate the information in this provisional ecological site description is needed.This will
include field activities to collect low and medium intensity sampling,soil correlations,and analysis of that data.Annual field reviews should
be done by soil scientists and vegetation specialists.A final field review,peer review,quality control,and quality assurance reviews of the
ESD will be needed to produce the final document."(NI 430_306 ESI and ESD,April,2015)
