Bare ground has <br /> increased.Remnant amounts of species found in higher successional plant communities can still be found in localized areas due to the <br /> inherent geologic formation and relief of the site.The dominant perennial plants are sand dropseed and red threeawn.Annuals such as <br /> sixweeks fescue,Russian thistle,kochia and cheatgrass have increased or invaded. <br /> Soil erosion hazard has increased due to the increase of bare ground and may be severe on steeper slopes.All ecological functions are <br /> impaired. Desertification is obvious. <br /> Total annual production can vary from 25 to 200 pounds of air-dry vegetation per acre and will average 100 pounds. <br /> Plant Growth Curve <br /> Growth curve number: c06905 <br /> Growth curve name: Warm season dominant,cool season sub-dominant;MLRA-69:upland coarse textured soils <br /> Growth curve description: <br /> Percent Production by Month <br /> Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec <br /> 0 0 5 10 22 35 15 10 3 0 0 0 <br /> 35 Cuowch Curr• <br /> rfo 3. <br /> P <br /> r <br /> 2a 0 <br /> a <br /> U <br /> 1, <br /> 1 <br /> i <br /> 0 <br /> n <br /> A <br /> Oneseed Juniper Plant Community <br /> Oneseed juniper has significantly increased due to the lack of fire and long-term non-use.This tree component has significantly altered the <br /> hydrology cycle as well as the landscape appearance. Prescribed grazing,brush management and fire can be used to maintain acceptable <br /> juniper levels. <br /> In higher canopy cover situations,the soil erosion will increase.The water cycle is significantly altered under dense canopies. Infiltration is <br /> reduced because of interception of rainfall by the canopy.Runoff may or may not increase depending on the condition of the herbaceous <br /> component. <br /> Total annual production can vary from 50 to 200 pounds of air-dry vegetation per acre and will average 100 pounds. <br /> Plant Growth Curve <br /> Growth curve number: C06907 <br /> Growth curve name: Warm season dominant;MLRA-69;upland coarse textured soils <br /> Growth curve description: <br /> Percent Production by Month <br /> Jan Feb Mar APPr May Jun Jul Aug 'iQp Q_ct Nov Dec <br /> 0 0 0 5 30 40 20 5 0 0 0 0 <br /> https://esis.sc.egov.usda.gov/ESDReport/fsReportPrt.aspx?id=R069XY053CO&rptLevel=all&approved=yes&repType=regular&scros=&Gomm= 9/19 <br />
