It is capable of produci <br />cords of firewood per acre in a stand that averages five inches <br />per. <br />and pinyon <br />about 10 <br />diameter <br />at a heighth of one foot, when all limbs larger than two inches in diameter <br />are used. The main limitations for woodland production are sha low depth to <br />bedrock, low available water capacity, steep slopes, Rock ou[crc~p, and high <br />erosion hazard. <br />Limiting soil disturbance when harvesting trees will help ~inimize 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 pi <br />trees, and controlling livestock grazing so that seedling tree: <br />established. <br />ucing <br />get <br />
