Section 779.19 (a) Continued. <br />• treated sagebrush has received a surface treatment which changed <br />the natural species composition. This site is composed of big <br />sagebrush and smooth brome grass as the dominant plants. Total <br />plant cover is 91 percent. Production is 1861 pounds per acre. <br />The potential for revegetation is similar to that of aspen and big <br />sagebrush. <br />Meadow Range Site <br />Physiographic Features. This site is located on drainage bottoms <br />and low areas. It consists of very gentle slopes to nearly flat <br />topography. <br />Soils. Soils are moderately deep on most sites. They are loamy in <br />texture. Erosion hazard is slight. Permeability and infiltration <br />are low, <br />• Vegetation. Vegetation cover is 82 percent; total cover is 98 <br />percent. This is the most productive site with 3037 pounds per <br />acre. (See Table 38, Meadow Range Site, Percent Species Composi- <br />tion and Frequence). Four of the 15 species found in this site are <br />included in the revegetation seed mixture. The remaining species <br />either have not proven useful or are not available for revegetation. <br />Silver Sagebrush - Meadow Range Site <br />Physiographic Features. This site occurs on upper flood plains and <br />well drained plains adjacent to drainage channels. It is nearly <br />level to very gently sloping. <br />Soils. Soils are moderately deep and usually fertile. Erosion <br />hazard is low. Permeability and root penetration is moderate. <br />• 779-120 <br />
