• <br /> in these soils. Erosion control potential and establishment <br /> requirements are rated medium. Short term revegetation potential is low <br /> and long term medium. Medium biomass production may be expected. Cover <br /> for all five classes of wildlife is good. Food value for game birds, <br /> small non-game birds, and small mammals is good. For elk and deer, it <br /> is fair. Forage palatability for sheep is fair and cat tle poor. Energy <br /> and protein retention values are poor. <br />MOUNTAIN-LOVER: PACHYSTIMA MYRSINITES (PURSH) FAF. <br />Mountain-lover is a native shrub that prefers moist sites from <br />6,600 to 11,000 feet. It reproduces sexually and isn't weedy or <br />poisonous. This shrub's growth in sandy loam, loam and clay loam on <br />• slopes of all aspects is good. Erosion control potential of mountain- <br />lover is medium. Potential biomass production is low. Small non-game <br />birds and small mammals find good cover in this shrub. Fair cover is <br />provided for game birds. Food value for small mammals, elk and deer is <br />good. For game birds end small non-game birds food value is fair. <br />Forage palatability for cattle and sheep is poor. Energy values are <br />fair and protein poor. <br />MOUNTAIN MAHOGANY: CERCOCARPUS MONTANUS RAF. <br />This native shrub grows in dry sites between 4,000 and 10,000 <br />feet. It is non-weedy and reproduces sexually. It can be a minor <br />poisoner to livestock. See cocmnon Chokecherry for general information <br />on HCN poisoning. Mountain Mahogany affords excellent browse when not <br />• containing dangerous amounts of cyanogenic glycoside. The intact <br />glycoside isn't toxic.
