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. tt is <br /> expressed in pounds per acre of air-dry vegetation.In a favorable year,the <br /> amount and distribution of precipitation and the temperatures make growing <br /> conditions substantially better than average.Yields are adjusted to a common <br /> percent of air-dry 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 /> H:\Pits HBP Plants\EVANS\Evans Mining Resource\Exh J Vegetation\Exh J Vegetation DRAFT w NRCS Rangeland.docx <br />
