It includes all vegetation, whether or not it is palatable to grazing <br /> animals. It includes the current year's growth of leaves, twigs, and fruits of woody <br /> plants. It does not include the increase in stem diameter of trees and shrubs. It is <br /> expressed in pounds per acre of air-dry vegetation. In a normal year, growing <br /> conditions are about average. Yields are adjusted to a common percent of air-dry <br /> moisture content. <br /> In areas that have similar climate and topography, differences in the kind and <br /> amount of vegetation produced on rangeland are closely related to the kind of <br /> soil. Effective management is based on the relationship between the soils and <br /> vegetation and water. <br /> Rating Options <br /> Units of Measure: pounds per acre per year <br /> Aggregation Method:Weighted Average <br /> Component Percent Cutoff.
