<br /> <br />Ability to reproduce Ilaturally: Best reproduction is obtained under tree crocros, <br />Planting is possible, buc impractical due to low survival, slow grocrth and <br />often rocky soils, <br />GrazingllJse: The ariount of grazing is pretty much controlled by the density of <br />tl~el!croim cover, 'Crass mill grow under crown canopies up to GO percent, but <br />thelusc•may be 1~imited, lost of the type is used for grazing rather than c:ood <br />production, On clayey soils brazing will cause more erosion than where the so <br />souls are loamy or derived from sandstone. <br />i•Lana~ement Considerations: fior commercial wood production the type has little <br />value. Fence posts, :uel wood, Christmas trees and pinyon nuts are products <br />available, Investments in the land to increase their production are of doubt- <br />ful economic feasibility for the private owner, <br />I <br />Stands on clayey soils should have more restricted uses than soils that are <br />loamy or sandy because of erosion and sedimen[ producing hazards, Fire pro- <br />tection is needed if tlic type is to be maintained, <br />1~!Viere soils and slopes are suitable for alternative uses it may be cleared <br />for range, pasture or cropland uses, Areas planned fo.r clearing for other <br />uses must be thoroughly cliccl:cd by soil scientists, <br />Because temperatures are milder ~~here this type occurs than in other caoodland <br />types the possibilities of developing recreation use should not be overloolced, <br />D-5 <br />
