alkali soraton and western wheatgrass decrease and saltgrass , sedge f '
a
and rush increase .
Management of vegetation on this soil should be based on taking half
and leaving half of the total annual production. Seeding on this
site is difficult and costly since numerous tillage practices are '
required to eliminate the saltgrass sod . Switchgrass , western wheatgrass ,
alkali saca ton , tall whoa tgrass and tall fescue are suitable for seeding, f
' For successful seeding a clean, firm seedbed -- usually requires more I
than one year to eliminate the saltgrass sod -- and a grass drill
should be used. Early spring seeding has proven most successful .
Vetland wildlife , especially waterfowl, utilize these areas . The
availability of moisture due to the wetness of this soil allows pro-
duction of wetland plants that provide nesting and protective cover , as
' well as some food for waterfowl. The iuxtaposition of this soil to
Irrigated cropland areas where wildlife obtain much of their food ,
along with the cover provided , make this s )il valuable to both wetland
�.._
and openland wildlife.
Openland wildlife , especially pheasants , use these areas for cover and i
nesting, while they also provide excellent cover for deer when found
in areas inhabited by deer.
Management for wildlife would include prevention of overgrazing by
livestock , protection from unplanned fire , and prevention of drainage.
Where livestock are present , these valuable wildlife areas should be M
fenced to prevent unwanted encroachment and overuse by livestock.
