$~_.. ~. <br />GUIDE FOR RATING RAtr~3TREND <br />Consldering:the potential for this site, class of livestock, season n/ use, <br />recreational use, fire, and other influences, rate the following by gl:ing <br />each item a rating of 4 to 0. Interpolate between indicators for ralinas <br />3, 2, and I. <br />Trend Indicators <br />REPRODUCTION: <br />Major species of the potential plant community are producing <br />seedlings, plants are of mixed ages; there is evidence of <br />active tillers, rhizcxnes, stolons ............................ (~ <br />Hajor species not reproducing ................................ (0) <br />PLANTS RESIDUE AND CURRENT UTILI2ATIDN: <br />Litter produced by major species is abundant for the sites <br />and current utilization is moderate .......................... (4) <br />Litter is absent and utilization is severe ................... (O) <br />LOHPDSITION CHANGES: <br />Dominant species of the potential plant community are <br />maintaining their place in the stand ......................... (>,) <br />Dominant species are absent or noticeably decreasing in , <br />percentage, while minor species and species not native to <br />the community are increasing ................................. (C) ~. <br />PANT VIGOR: <br />Hajor species of the potential plant community are strong, <br />healthy, productive and well rooted ........................~. (4) <br />Hajor species are showing noticeable die-off ................. (0) <br />SDIL SURFACE FACTORS: <br />Accelerated loll erosion is not evident.
