.. ~• <br />Limiting soil disturbance when harvesting trees will help ~inimi a soil <br />erosion. Reseeding to adapted grasses may be necessary in some areas after <br />harvesting trees. Low precipitation and brushy plants may infl ence <br />seedling survival. Areas can be maintained in pinyon and junip r by <br />selective cutting, leaving small trees and a few larger seed pr~ducing <br />trees, and controlling livestock grazing so [ha[ seedling trees may get <br />established. <br />Wildlife, such as cottontail rabbit, mule deer, coyote, sgiirrels, <br />pheasants, and mourning dove utilize this soil. Irrigated crop and provides <br />food and shelter for some wildlife. Native rangeland and nearb <br />pinyon-juniper areas provide shelter and nesting areas. Manage ent for <br />wildlife should include protection from overgrazing by livestoc protection <br />from unplanned Eires, and maintaining adequate plant cover incl ding areas <br />of pinyon and juniper. In cropland areas, favorable habitat cad be <br />developed by maintaining plan[ cover along fences and ditches a~d in corners <br />of fields. <br />Low strength and high shrink-swell are the primary limi[in soil <br />features when planning for the construction of homes and other ommuni[y <br />developments. The foundations of buildings must be designed to compensate <br />for the high shrink-swell of the Falfa soils. Roads should be esigned to <br />overcome [he low strength and high shrink-swell features of the soils. Slow <br />permeability must be considered when planning leach fields or se <br />lagoons. Leach fields may be made larger than normal. Lagoons <br />when slope is overcome. <br />(work well <br />Capability subclasses IVe, irrigated, and IVe nonirrigated, <br />
