<br />' Shrubs: <br />Others--------------------------------~ T-2 <br />The total annual yield of air-dry vegetation ranges from <br />' 4,000+ pounds per acre in favorable years to 3,000 pounds <br />per acre in unfavorable years. Sedges, rushes, alkali <br />sacaton, bluegrass, saltgrass, foxtail and wild licorice <br />are the primary increasing species with the beginning of <br />' range depletion. As condition declines further foxtail <br />and saltgrass increase and dandelion and annuals invade <br />the site. <br />1 <br />Up to ~90 percent of the potential vegetation on this site <br />provides forage for cattle. <br />(11) Exhibit K - Climate <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Climatological data for this pit is presented in the <br />Climatology Report No. 77-1 (Appendix A) for the Fort <br />Collins area which shows means, extremes and durations of <br />temperature ranges on a month by month basis, as well <br />as similar precipitation information. <br />In addition, an annual wind rose diagram for Fort Collins <br />covering the period 1959-1963 is included as Appendix B. <br />We also would reference Bulletin 509-S of the Agricultural <br />Experiment Station, Colorado State University tit.ied <br />Meteorological Data 1887-1957, which is a summary of 71 <br />years of meteorological data taken at the experiment station. <br />Should more indepth historical data be desired, this publi- <br />cation will be provided. <br />17 <br />
