R067BY038CO Wet Meadow <br /> The Wet Meadow site lacks alkali species (inland saltgrass, alkali sacaton)and has greater overall <br /> production. <br /> Table 1.Dominant plant species <br /> Tree Not specified <br /> Shrub Not specified <br /> Herbaceous (1) Sporobo/us airoides <br /> (2) Panicum virgatum <br /> Physiographic features <br /> This site occurs on nearly level floodplains and terraces adjacent to streams and rivers. It is also found on <br /> drainageways associated with intermittent and perennial streams. There is an influential water table associated with <br /> this site. <br /> Table 2. Representative physiographic features <br /> Landforms (1) Flood plain <br /> (2) Drainageway <br /> (3) Terrace <br /> Flooding duration Very brief(4 to 48 hours) to brief(2 to 7 days) <br /> Flooding frequency None to frequent <br /> Ponding frequency None <br /> Elevation 3,600-5,600 ft <br /> Slope 0-3% <br /> Ponding depth 0 in <br /> Water table depth 12-48 in <br /> Aspect Aspect is not a significant factor <br /> Climatic features <br /> Average annual precipitation across the MLRA extent is 14 to 17 inches, and ranges from 13 inches to over 18 <br /> inches, depending on location. The average is 15 inches. Precipitation increases from north to south. Mean Annual <br /> Air Temperature (MART) is 50T in the northern part and increases to 52T in the southern part. Portions of Morgan <br /> and Weld counties (in the northern part) are cooler and drier, the MAAT is 48T, and average precipitation is 13 to14 <br /> inches per year. <br /> Two-thirds of the annual precipitation occurs during the growing season from mid-April to late September. Snowfall <br /> averages 30 inches per year, area-wide, but varies by location from 20 to 40 inches per year. Winds are estimated <br /> to average 9 miles per hour annually. Daytime winds are generally stronger than at night, and occasional strong <br /> storms may bring periods of high winds with gusts to more than 90 mph. High-intensity afternoon thunderstorms <br /> may arise. The average length of the freeze-free period (28T) is 155 days from April 30th to October to 3rd. The <br /> average frost-free period (32T) is 136 days from May 11th to September 24th. July is the hottest month, and <br /> December and January are the coldest months. Summer temperatures average 90T and occasionally exceed <br /> 100T. Summer humidity is low and evaporation is high. Winters are characterized with frequent northerly winds, <br /> producing severe cold with temperatures occasionally dropping to -30T or lower. Blizzard conditions may form <br /> quickly.
