FIGURES
Figure 1. —A, Typical depleted juniper- pinyon pine type in south central Utah. B, A stand
of mixed grasses, forbs, and shrubs established 6 years after cabling and broad-
cast seeding.
Figure 2.— Terrain of game range may vary from steep (right) to flat (left).
Figure 3. —A, Intensive experimental plots at the lower edge of the juniper- pinyon type (ele-
vation 5,800 feet); B, experimental plots at the upper edge of the juniper - pinyon
type (elevation 7,200 feet) representative of Utah game range.
Figure 4.— Location of experimental areas where plant species and restoration treatments are
being tried.
Figure 5.— Desirable native grasses in this encroaching stand of juniper increased markedly
after livestock grazing was reduced.
Figure 6. —The relatively level chained area in the foreground, having a deep soil, was
properly selected for treatment and seeding in preference to the steep, rocky
slopes in the background.
Figure 7. —In eastern Utah, dwarf plants of shadscale saltbush, Gardner saltbush, and
winterfat, separated by large barren interspaces, indicate that the annual
precipitation is not adequate to justify planting.
Figure 8.— Anchor chaining is the most efficient method of reducing competition from
juniper and pinyon trees A and brushy species, such as big sagebrush B.
Figure 9. —A dense stand of big sagebrush, thinned by chaining, hos been succeeded by
an understory of more productive plants.
Figure 10. —The dozer blade is useful for eliminating scattered trees.
Figure 11. —Pipe harrows adequately thin sagebrush and other brush species so that asso-
ciated herbaceous species can be established.
Figure 12. —The brushland plow, designed for use on rocky or uneven ground, can be regu-
lated to eliminate the desired amount of sagebrush.
Figure 13. —A, This typical undercutter with 4 -foot blade is equipped with ratchet depth
control. 8, Undercutter is easily pulled by a jeep to eliminate mountain sage
and cluster tarweed on alpine range.
Figure 14. —Burns are excellent areas for establishing good game forage: A, juniper - pinyon
type having a cheatgrass understory, and 8, a former subalpine fir forest.
Figure 15. —A, The scalping drill effectively eliminates competition from annual weeds, and
B, promotes good establishment of shrubs and associated perennials.
Figure 16.— Handmade scalps approximately 2Y2 feet square A make good areas for estab-
lishing shrubs from seeds or transplants B.
Figure 17.— Smooth brome in association with rubber rabbitbrush is producing 2,175 pounds
of forage per acre 16 years after planting, compared to only 950 pounds per
acre without the association.
