Thep occur as 10 to 50 foot escarpments and as scattered outcrops 1 <br />inch to 12 inches above ground level. Slope is 3 to 30 percent. <br />This unit is used for limited livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. <br />The potential plant community is mainly pinyon pine and Utah juniper and <br />an understory of Indian ricegrass, Salina wild rye, gaileta, and big <br />sagebrush. The average annual production of air-dry understory vegetation <br />is about 100 to S00 pounds per acre. Stand density and canopy cover is <br />denser on the shallow Pinon soil and adjacent to Rock outcrop. <br />
