Rock outcrop con.^^>ists of exposed bedrock. Areas are gently sloping [o
I steep. They occur as 10 to 50 foot escarpments and as scattered outcrops 1
inch to 12 inches above ground level. Slope is 3 to 30 percent.
This unit is used for limited livestock grazing and wildlife habitat.
The potential plan[ community is mainly pinyon pine and Utah juniper and
an understor;: of Indian ricegrass, Salina wildrye, gaileta, and big
sagebrush. The average annual production of air-dry understory vegetation
is about IOn to 500 pounds per acre. Stand density and canopy cover is
denser on [he shallow Pinon soil and adjacent to Rock outcrop.
