Interpolate between indicators for ratings <br />3, 2, and I. <br />Trend Indicators <br />REPRODUCTION: <br />Hajor species of [he potential plant comtunity are producing <br />seedlings, plants are of mined ages; there is evidence of <br />active tillers, rhizomes, stolons ............................

(0) 2 <br />PLANTS RESIDUE AND CURftEMT UTILIZATION: <br />Litter produced by major species is abundant for the sit:• <br />and current utilization is moderate .......................... (4i <br /> <br />........... <br />Litter is absent and utilization is severe ........ <br />(0) 2 <br />COhPOS I'f I ON LHf.NGES <br />Dominant species of [he potential plant community are <br />maintaining their place in the stand ......................... (4) <br />Dominant species are al,scn[ or noticeably decreasing in __ <br />percentage, while minor species and species not native to <br />the community are increasing ................................. (D) 1 <br />PLANT VIGOR: <br />Hajor species of [he potential plant community are strong, <br />healthy, productive and well rooted .......................... (~) <br />Hajor species are showing noticeable die-off (0) 2 <br />SOIL SURFACE FACTORS:~ <br />Accelerated loll erosion is not evident. Past erosion signs <br />have healed. Water intake for the kind of soil is favorable.. (4) <br />Accelerated erosion is Obvious. Soil stability is poor as <br />seen by failure of erosion signs to be healing.
