Reduction of rhizomatous wheatgrass,nitrogen-fixing(orbs, and the shrub component,and <br /> increased warm-season shortgrasses have begun to alter the biotic integrity of this community.Water and nutrient cycles may be impaired. <br /> Total annual production can vary from 200 to 900 pounds of air-dry vegetation per acre and will average 700 pounds during an average year. <br /> Plant Growth Curve <br /> Growth curve number: C06702 <br /> Growth curve name: Warm season dominant,cool season sub-dominant,MLRA-67B,upland fine textured soils. <br /> Growth curve description: <br /> Percent Production by Month <br /> Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Auq Sep Oct Nov Dec <br /> 0 0 0 2 15 45 20 15 3 0 0 0 <br /> 45 Growth Cum <br /> % w <br /> P 35 <br /> r 31 <br /> 0 27 <br /> d <br /> u <br /> C 8 <br /> t t3 <br /> i <br /> o s <br /> n 4 <br /> Jec eG Av May Jc� Jci f, _e :fo+ r <br /> Seeded Community <br /> https://esis.sc.egov.usda.gov/ESDReport/fsReportPrt.aspx?id=R067BY002CO&rptLevel=al... 1/2/2018 <br />
