• • <br /> Major Management Factors <br /> Rangeland <br /> Suitability: Fair <br /> Dominant vegetation in the potential plant community: Alkali <br /> sacaton, galleta, western wheatgrass, big sagebrush <br /> Dominant vegetation in the present plant community: Big <br /> sagebrush, greasewood, fourwing saltbush, annual weeds <br /> Potential annual production of air-dry vegetation: 800 <br /> pounds per acre <br /> Management considerations: <br /> Low annual precipitation limits forage production. <br /> Low available water capacity limits forage production. <br /> Brush control may be needed to maintain forage production. <br /> Cropland <br /> Suitability: Poor <br /> Soil-related factors: Salinity <br /> Management considerations: <br /> The presence of high salt concentrations adversely affects <br /> crop production. <br /> Low available water capacity limits crop production. <br /> Building Site Development <br /> Suitability: Poor <br /> Soil-related factors: Flooding, salinity <br /> Management considerations: <br /> The hazard of flooding limits the suitability of this unit <br /> for use as a building site. <br /> Special consideration of building material is needed to <br /> compensate for possible corrosion from the saline-alkaline <br /> conditions. <br />
