<br /> <br />Page 2 ,Y240 <br />3. Potential Plant Community (Native Vegetation) <br />a. The plant community has an open stand ponderosa pine and <br />mountain bunchgrass aspect. Some open park areas occur <br />throughout the site. The plant community is about 75-80 <br />percent grass and grass-like plants, 5-10 percent fortis, and <br />10-20 percent shrubs and trees by air dry weight. <br />Dominant grasses are mountain muhly, Arizona fescue and <br />Parry oatgrass. Less abundant grasses are prairie junegrass <br />and muttongrass. Fortis present in the plant community <br />include Richardson geranium and rose pussytoes. <br />Shrubs that occur on this site are gambol oak, true mountain <br />mahogany and wax currant. <br />The dominant tree species is ponderosa pine. Occuring as <br />minor but consistent components of the over story are Rocky <br />Mountain Juniper, pinyon and limber pine at the lower <br />elevations, and bristlecone pine at higher elevations. <br />b.
