Interpretations: <br />Plant <br />Symbol <br />Due to the low productivity of this site, very little <br />manipulation of the vegetation is recommended. If areas of <br />juniper or sagebrush are dense enough to create monoculture <br />situations then some form of chemical or mechanical brush <br />management should be considered. If adequate fuel is available <br />prescribed burning may be considered. In areas where sagebrush <br />and other shrubs have become dominant, manipulation that restores <br />a_..mix of grasse .s__and._.forbs_is_,heneficial for__rnany <br />species. Areas of sagebrush along drainages and south and west <br />facing slopes should be left undisturbed to provide critical <br />winter forage for mule deer. Water developments for livestock <br />and wildlife can be a useful management tool on this site. <br />Soils in this site are mostly grouped into the "B FL C" <br />hydrologic groups, as outlined in the Soils of Colorado Loss <br />Factors and Erodibility Hydrologic Groupings 1979 Handbook. <br />Field investigations are needed to determine hydrologic cover <br />conditions and hydrologic curve numbers. Refer. to NRCS- National <br />Engineering Handbook, Section 4, and Peak Flows in_Colorado <br />Handbook for more informat <br />7. Recreation and Natural. Beauty: <br />The site occurs at lower elevations so is accessable for <br />recreation yearly year round. It offers beauty in the spring <br />with blooming forbs and hunting in the fall. <br />8. Endangered Plants and Animals: <br />Bald eagles can be found on this site during the winter season. <br />The spineless hedgehog cactus occurs on this site. <br />9 Scientific Names of Plants Listed According to NRCS "PLANTS" <br />Database: <br />Common <br />Name <br />GRASSES AND GRASSLIKES <br />BOGR2 BLUE GRP.MA <br />PSSPS BLUEBUNCH WHEATGRASS <br />PRAIRIE JtJNEGPASS <br />NEEDLEANDTHREAD <br />INDIAN RICEGRASS <br />GALLETA <br />BOTTLEBRUSH SOUIRRELTAIL <br />RED THREEAWN <br />Semidesert Juniper Loans #113 <br />Scientific <br />Name <br />BOUTELOUA GRACILIS <br />PSEUDOROEGNERIA SPICTA sso. <br />SPICATA <br />KOELERIA NACRANTHA <br />STIPA COMATA <br />ORYZOPSIS HYMENOIDES <br />HILARIA JAMESII <br />ELYMUS ELYMOIDES <br />ARISTIDA LONGISETA <br />Page 7 of 8 <br />
