Change in plant cover must be determined, by rational <br />criteria, to be necessary and desirable 20 <br />2. Terrain and soil type must be suitable to making the <br />change selected 21 <br />3. Precipitation must be adequate to assure establishment <br />and survival of planted species 22 <br />4. Competition must be low enough to assure that the <br />desired species can become iiimly established 23 <br />5. Only species and strains of plants adapted to the area <br />be planted 35 <br />6. Mixtures of plant types rather than single species <br />should be planted 38 <br />7. Sufficient seed of acceptable purity and viability <br />should be planted to insure getting a stand 42 <br />8. Seed must be covered sufficiently 46 <br />9. Planting should be done in a season that gives promise <br />of optimum conditions for establishment 49 <br />10. The planted areas must not be overgrazed 50 <br />Guides for Seeding Specific Vegetal Types 52 <br />Juniper- pinyon 52 <br />Mountain brush 56 <br />Big Sagebrush 60 <br />Aspen and associated conifers 64 <br />Black greasewood 66 <br />Shadscale saltbush 69 <br />Blackbrush 71 <br />Cheatgrass and red brome 73 <br />Lowland annual forbs 75 <br />Inland saltgrass 76 <br />Subalpine herbland and aspen openings 78 <br />Wet and semiwet meadows 81 <br />Major Species for Use in Game Range Restoration 84 <br />Shrubs 84 <br />Forbs 111 <br />Grasses 125 <br />Collecting, Cleaning, and Storing Seeds 141 <br />Transplanting 151 <br />Common and Botanical Names of Species 154 <br />Bibliography 161 <br />Appendix 169 <br />
