<br /> <br />This mapping unit is planted with-a wide range of plant species. <br />Common trees planted are pinyon and Rocky Mountain juniper. Importa„t <br />fortis and shrubs include mountainmahogany, Louisiana sagewort, <br />fourwing saltbush, rubber rabbitbrush, and skunkbush sumac. Grasses <br />seeded that are expected to remain after an initial period of 5 years <br />include western wheatgrass, sideoats grama, Indian ricegrass, blue <br />grama, and sand dropseed. Little bluestem is expected to become <br />dominant on north-facing, gravelly slopes. <br />Over a long period of tim• other native species can be expected to <br /> <br />invade the site. These may include Scribner needlegrass, Gambel oak, <br />pinon ricegrsss, yucca, pricklypsar, and cholla. It is likely that <br />many areas will eventually support a widely-spaced stand of pinon and <br />juniper with ,a grassy understory. There are som• small areas with an <br />•xtramely acid surface layer that have remained barren after about 1 <br />year following planting. <br />Most areas of this unit are poorly suited to homesite development. <br />The main limitation is steepness of slope. <br />This map unit is in capability subclass VIIe, nonirrigated. No <br />• <br />range site assigned. <br />i <br />~/ <br />
