Figure 18. - Light seeding of winter rye with perennials in fall or winter provides early forage
that game seek in the spring.
Figure 19. - Big sagebrush can be successfully seeded aerially in mixtures with herbaceous
plants for quick browse.
Figure 20. Winterfat seedlings from salt- desert shrub type (left) are short, as contrasted
with much taller seedlings from the juniper - pinyon type (right).
Figure 21. Plants of antelope bitterbrush from different sources vary markedly in growth
and spreading characteristics in their second year.
Figure 22. - Seed mixtures comprised of browse, forbs, and grasses extend B, succulence
of the cover over a longer period.
Figure 23. Comparison of ground cover on comparable spots within the same area: A,
Fifty percent ground cover by pure crested wheatgrass; B, 72- percent ground
cover by mixture of crested wheatgrass and intermediate wheatgrass; and C,
95 - percent cover by crested and intermediate wheatgrasses having an overstory
of rubber rabbitbrush.
Figure 24. Broadcasting shrub seeds into pits left where juniper or pinyon trees had been
pulled or on major disturbance areas is helpful in getting good distribution
over the area.
Figure 25. - Fixed -wing aircraft can efficiently seed rough mountain terrain; B, scattered,
irregular tracts can be seeded more easily from a helicopter.
Figure 26. Utricles of fourwing saltbush A; after being dewinged in a hammermill, B.
Figure 27. Dormancy in seed of roundleaf buffaloberry is largely overcome by Tight and
moderate scarification with sulfuric acid; heavy scarification is too severe.
Figure 28. Bolting depth rings or regulators to the disks insures that drills do not plant
too deeply on loose seedbeds.
Figure 29. - The specially designed Schussler planter gages the number of shrub seeds and
the depth of planting.
Figure 30. Packer wheels usually provide the necessary compaction when drilling.
Figure 31. - A "seed dribbler" mounted on the deck of a crawler tractor so that seeds drop
into cleat marks.
Figure 32. Strychnine salt placed in holes bored in wood slabs effectively controls rabbits
and rodents when plants are succulent.
Figure 33. -A 3- year -old planting of big sagebrush.
Figure 34. Rubber rabbitbrush grows abundantly even on rocky sites.
Figure 35. Fourwing saltbush consistently produces abundant seed.
Figure 36. Antelope bitterbrush plants vary in size and growth habit from upright treelike
forms A to low, prostrate shrubs B.
Figure 37. Desert bitterbrush usually grows upright in Utah; it occurs primarily in the black -
brush type in southwestern Utah A. B, The shrub sprouts readily after burns
on even severe or very dry sites.
Figure 38. Stansbury cliffrose often grows as high as 20 feet.
Figure 39. - Black sagebrush grows on rocky ridges and shallow soils, often in association
with big sagebrush.
Figure 40. -Green ephedra grows on well drained soils throughout much of the juniper -
pinyon type and on higher and lower adjacent plant types.
Figure 41. - The taller form of winterfat (right) is recommended for seeding Utah game
winter ranges.
Figure 42. Golden currant grows rapidly on favorable sites and produces abundant foliage
and berries.
Figure 43. Mountain snowberry, a low- growing shrub, can be successfully transplanted
from wildings to stabilize roadcuts.
Figure 44. Curlleaf mountain - mahogny is treelike, usually 15 to 20 feet high. Dense basal
growth is typical of youthful plants.
Figure 45. - Mountain mahogany is a low- growing shrub that can be established on
fairly rocky sites.
B, Left to right: twigs of true mountain- mahogany x curlleaf mountain - mahogany;
typical curlleaf mountain - mahogany; typical true mountain - mahogany; typical
littieleaf mountain- mahogany; and, far right, true mountain mahogany x little -
leaf mountain- mahogany.
Figure 46.- Saskatoon serviceberry on favorable sites is a large shrub.
Figure 47. -Utah serviceberry (right) grows much faster than Saskatoon serviceberry (left)
when planted on dry sites of the juniper - pinyon type.
