Steepness of slope limits <br />i <br />harvesting in a few areas. <br />a, <br />Thinning the overstory generally enhances reproduction and <br />o. <br />promotes the growth of grass and younger treas. To reduce the hazard <br />n <br />of soil erosion, grasses should be seeded following thinning or <br />a, <br />harvesting of pinyon and juniper. <br />o• <br />This unit is suited to homesite development in areas with slopes <br />h <br />of about 15 percent or less. <br />f <br />This map unit is in capability subclass VIs, nonirrigated. it ~s <br />~f <br />in the Gravelly Foothill +M214 range site. <br />f <br />• <br />~' <br />
