<br />Removal of pinyon and Juniper increases the production of <br />understory forage. Management of the pinyon-Juniper and range <br />resources in conJUnction can lead to the improvement of all resources. <br />On slopes suited to logging and range seeding with deteriorated sites, <br />benefits can be received from the sale of wood products and improved <br />grazing, when proper grazing management is applied. Range seeding <br />should be done in conJunction with removal of the overstory. This <br />would improve the understory while providing firewood and posts. <br />This unit is capable of producing 7 to 9 cords per acre in a stand <br />which will average 5 inches in diameter at a height of 1 foot. Young <br />pinyon pine are desirable as Christmas trees. The main limiting soil <br />feature is the high hazard of erosion. <br />The management practices suitable for use on this unit are proper <br />grazing use and a planned grazing system. <br />This unit provides wildlife habitat for mule deer, rabbits, hawks, <br />and eagles. <br />This unit is poorly suited to recreational development. It is <br />limited mainly by depth to bedrock and slopes greater than 15 percent. <br />This unit is poorly suited to homes~te development. The main <br />limitations are depth to bedrock and slopes greater than 15 percent. <br />This map unit is in capability subclass VIIs, nonirrigated. The <br />Pinon soil is in the Pinyon-Juniper woodland site and Ustic <br />Torriorthents has no site assigned. <br />~~ <br />
