Section 779.19 (a) Continued. <br />cover is 17.2 percent. Plant production is 1199 pounds per acre. <br />Needle grass, sanberg bluegrass, and western wheatgrass are the <br />important grasses while major forb species mules ear dock, aster, <br />and annual forbs. Total percent cover is 42.8 percent. Six of the <br />13 plant species identified in this range are Sncluded in the re- <br />vegetation seed mixture. The remaining species either have not <br />proven useful or are not available for revegetation. <br />Low Sagebrush Range Sites <br />Physiographic Features. This site occupies intermediate and lower <br />positions on land forms below mountain shrub types. It occurs on <br />all aspects but tends to favor west facing slopes in the Eckman <br />Park area. <br />Soils. Soils are shallow and moderately well drained. Erosion <br />• hazard is moderate. They have a moderately low water holding and <br />poor root penetrating capacity. <br />Vegetation. Plant cover totals 43 percent made up of 34 percent <br />shrubs, and 9 percent grasses. Production is 920 pounds per acre. <br />Low sagebrush dominates the site comprizing 75 percent of the plant <br />cover and 89 percent of the production. The other major species <br />are june grass and slender wheatgrass. For further information, <br />see Table 37, Low Sagebrush Range Site, Percent Species Composition <br />and Frequence. Three of. the 7 plant species identified in this <br />site are included in the revegetation seed mixture, The remaining <br />species either have not proven useful or are not available for <br />reclamation. <br />Treated Sagebrush Range Site <br />Treated sagebrush occupy the same portions sites the aspen and big <br />• sagebrush sith similar soil potentials.
