(/oo) 4 <br /> Permeability of the Clapper soil is moderal?. Available water <br /> ,.� capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more . <br /> .. Runoff is medium, and the hazard of water erosion is high . <br /> This unit is used for livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. <br /> • I <br /> The potential plant community on the Barx soil is mainly western <br /> Sa++o Oor, pI¢grass <br /> wheatgrass , need Ieandthread , bottlebrush squirreltai-r,A and Wyoming big <br /> sagebrush . Other less extensive grasses that characterize this unit <br /> are Indian ricegrass , prairie junegrass and several forbs . If range <br /> condition declines due to overgrazing , forbs and Wyoming big sagebrush <br /> increase . With continued deterioration , bulbous bluegrass , <br /> cheatgrass , and Utah juniper invades . The average annual production <br /> of air-dry vegetation is about 800 pounds per acre . <br /> Range seeding is suitable if the range is in - poor condition . <br /> Seeding late in fall helps to insure that the content of moisture in <br /> the soil will be adequate for the establishment of seedlings next <br /> • spring . Native grasses which are adapted to the site are western <br /> wheatgrass , needleandthread , :and Indian ricegrass . Introduced grasses <br /> that are adapted are crested wheatgrass and pubescent wheatgrass . The <br /> plants selected for seeding should meet the seasonal requirements of <br /> livestock or wildlife , or both. Brush management can improve <br /> deteriorated areas of range that are producing more (+oody shrubs than <br /> were present in the potential plant community . Management practices <br /> suitable for use on this soil are proper range use , deferred grazing <br /> and planned grazing system. ___ <br /> •� Tentative - subject to rev. <br /> ski <br /> j�-5 Y.G o- '�tu � --���f°' :'3:rr.c -'�:?.L::9;@9M'� t_-:. 79 z <br /> �y- �.-.:`�.':.,:y.:�:,.1'�� .'-\C.. .`...r(q�� <br />
