• Continued <br />Travessilla-Kim Complex <br />slow to medium, and the hazard of water erosion is slight to high. The <br />hazard of soil blowing is high. <br />This unit is used for rangeland. <br />The potential plant community on the Travessilla soil is mainly sideoats <br />grama, blue grama, little bluestem, western wheatgrass, and widely <br />spaced pinyon and juniper. The average annual production of air-dry <br />vegetation is about 700 pounds per acre. If the condition of the range <br />deteriorates, blue grama, sand dropseed, pricklypear, snakeweed, and <br />juniper increase. Range seeding generally is inadvisable because of <br />droughtiness and the areas of Rock outcrop. <br />• The potential plant community on the Kim soil is mainly blue grama and <br />sideoats grama. Other less numerous grasses that characterize this site <br />are Indian ricegrass and western wheatgrass. The average annual <br />production of air-dry vegetation is about 900 pounds per acre. If the <br />condition of the range deteriorates, pricklypear cactus, sand dropseed, <br />threeawn, sad snakeweed inczease. Range seeding is suitable if the <br />range is in poor condition. <br />This unit is poorly suited to homesite development. Most areas are <br />shallow to hard bedrock. <br />This map unit is in capability subclass VIe, nonirrigated. It is 80 <br />percent Sandstone Breaks range site and 20 percent Loamy Plains range <br />site. <br />• <br />
