<br />• Range Site: Sandy Plains (2) <br />The potential native vegetation for this site is a mixture of t311, mid <br />and short grass complex with the mid-grasses such as needle-and-thread, <br />little bluestem, side-oats grama and Junegrass being the dominant grasses <br />present. Prairie sand reed is the most important tall grass wh.1e sand <br />- bluestem, yellow Indian grass and switch grass may be present but. are not <br />abundant. Thickspike wheatgrass, blue grama, sedges and sand dr'opseed <br />may make up one-third of the vegetative composition. <br />Forbs such as prairie clover, slimflower surf pea, wooly loco, training <br />fleabane, winged eriogonum, dotted gay feather, prairie canefloker and <br />spiderwort can be present in minor amounts. Shrubs such as sand sage- <br />brush, heraceous sage and fringed sagebrush, wormwood, small soap weed <br />1 ~ <br />'and bush buckwheat occur in very low percentage. PLains prickly pear <br />and ball cactus are also present in very small amounts. The optimum <br />ground cover is 40%. <br />The seeding recommendation for this site is based on the dominant grasses <br />• expected in the native plant community. See attached seeding re=ommenda- <br />tion for this range site. <br />Other species will likely invade the site from surrounding areas. <br />J <br />
