State 2 to unknown site. Excessive soil loss and changes in the hydrologic cycle caused by continued improper grazing management and/or frequent fire cause this state to cross a threshold and retrogress to a new site with reduced potential. Site potential has been reduced. Significant soil loss has occurred. Infiltration has been reduced and run-off has become more rapid. It is not economically practical to return this plant community to State 1 with accelerating practices.
