<br />u <br />J <br />This introduced species is a valuable revegetation tool when planted <br />in low percentages and a less aggressive variety is chosen for use. It is <br />capable of contributing desirable food and cover for wildlife and excellent <br />forage for domestic livestock. Excellent erosion control can be obtained <br />using this grnss. The species ie currently widespread in Routt County and <br />Colorado and is compatible with the flora and fauna of the region. This <br />plant is not poisonous or noxious. <br />SPACE MUHLY: <br />Spike Muhly is a non-weedy, native perennial tufted bunch grass <br />preferring dry sites between 5,000 and 9,600 feet. It is neither poisonous <br />nor weedy. Reproduction is accomplished sexually. Growth of this species <br />on sandy loam, loam and clay loam is good. Gentle to moderate slopes are <br />more conducive to growth than steep ones. Erosion control potential is <br />medium. Establishment requirements are low to medium. Short and long term <br />revegetation potentials are low. Potential biomass production is low. <br />Fair cover is produced for game birds, small non-game birds and small <br />mammals. Food value is fair for these three classes of wildlife also. <br />S:CREAMHANK WHEATGRASS: AGROPYRON RIPARIUM SCRIBN. & SMITH <br />WRIGHTII VASEY <br />Streambank wheatgrass is a native perennial preferring moist sites <br />acid ranges in elevation from 5,900 to 9,500 feet. It reproduces sexually <br />and vegetatively with rhizomes. This plant isn't weedy or poisonous. <br />Growth on sandy loam, loam and clay loam is good. It is healthiest on <br />gentle slopes and fares poorly on steep ones. Streambank wheatgrass has <br />high erosion control potential due to its rhizomatous nature. Medium <br />e:;tablishment requirements render the short term revegetation potentials of <br />Mid-term '94 <br />4.4-A-17 <br />September 15,1994 <br />
