<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 ail 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 soil is capable of producing 15 to 20 cortls per acre in a <br />stand which will average 5 inches in diameter at a height of 1 fooi. <br />Young pinyon pine are desirable as Christmas trees. <br />This unit provides wildlife habitat for elk, mule deer, rabbits, <br />and raptors. <br />This unit is moderately suited to recreational development. It is <br />limited mainiy by slopes. <br />This unit is poorly suited to homesite development. The main <br />limitations are slow permeability and slope. <br />This map unit ~s in capability subclass VIIe, nonirrigated. It is <br />in the Pinyon-Juniper woodland site. <br />
