glte Type: Rangeland <br />MLRA: 69 - Upper Arkansas Valley Rolling Plains <br />Limestone Breaks <br />R069XY058C0 <br />Litter levels have been reduced substantially. Soil erosion hazard has increased due to the increase <br />of bare ground and may be severe on steeper slopes. Biological integrity, watershed function and soil <br />stability are all impaired. Desertification is obvious. <br />Total annual production can vary from 50 to 150 pounds of air -dry vegetation per acre. <br />The following is the growth curve of this plant community expected during a normal year: <br />Growth curve number: C06903 <br />Growth curve name: Warm season dominant, cool season sub - dominant; MLRA -69; upland fine <br />textured soils. <br />(monthly percentages of total annual growth) <br />Transitions or pathways leading to other plant communities are as follows: <br />• Long-term prescribed grazing that allows for adequate recovery periods between grazing events <br />and proper stocking will move this plant community toward the Blue Grama with or without <br />Remnant Mid Grasses and Shrubs Plant Community assuming an adequate seed /vegetative <br />source is present. This transition may take 40 years or more to achieve. <br />Technical Guide <br />Section IIE <br />10 <br />USDA NRCS <br />Rev. 3/04 <br />FEB <br />MAR <br />APR <br />MAY <br />JUN <br />JUL <br />AUG <br />SEP <br />OCT <br />NOV <br />DEC <br />I JAN <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />5 <br />15 <br />35 <br />25 <br />15 <br />5 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />glte Type: Rangeland <br />MLRA: 69 - Upper Arkansas Valley Rolling Plains <br />Limestone Breaks <br />R069XY058C0 <br />Litter levels have been reduced substantially.
