This unit is used mainly for rangeland and wildlife habitat. it is also <br />used for firewood and post harvesting. This unit has severe limitations for <br />' all urban development. Limitations are shallow depths to bedrock, exposed <br />' bedrock, steep elopes, rapid runoff and very high water erosion hazard. <br />The potential plant community on this unit is mainly pinyon pine and Utah <br />' ]uniper, bluebunch wheatgrass, bottlebrush squirreltail, Indian ricegrass and <br />western wheatgrass. The potential production of the native understory <br />' vegetation in normal years is about 235 pounds of air-dry vegetation per <br />' acre. <br />Slope limits access by livestock and results in overgrazing of the less <br />' ~ sloping areas. If the plant cover is disturbed, protection from flooding is <br />needed to control gullying, streambank cutting, and sheet erosion. <br />' This unit is suited to limited production of firewood. The average <br />annual production is 5 cords per acre. The average stocking rate is 100 <br />trees per acre. Special care is needed to minimize erosion when thinning and <br />' when applying other forest management practices. <br />Thie map unit is poorly suited to homesite development. The main <br />' limitations are depth to rock and slope in the steeper areas. <br />' This map unit is in capability subclass VIIe, nonircigated. It is in the <br />Pinyon-Juniper woodland site. <br />' 24 <br />
