AND INTERPRETATIONS FOR: Grazing: This- s ite - caII be of good gran i ng value for cattle_ and_sheep.when . copy coven. is_ in_ the- 0 to 15_a range WherL_ the site i s__ dairrinated by trees, canopy cover_ greaLer that 350, the site- -has very little if_ any grazing value. OveL yzaaing of7the- site -by any animals including big will. ultimately increase -the=- proportion of tree production and reduce grass and forb production on the site. Even without grazing_of any kind, trees will over time dominate the site unless fire or other thinnig methods are used. Due to the slow growth of trees on this site, the use of fire or other thinning methods needs to occur at 40 to 80 year intervals. At the extreme, the vegetation consists of Utah juniper and a few pinyon trees with almost no understory production. When this occurs, erosion becomes excessive. 2.
