Submodel
Resilience management
State 2 to Unknown Site. Excessive soil loss and changes in the hydrologic cycle caused by continued improper grazing management and fire causes this state to cross a threshold and retrogress to a new site with reduced potential. It is not economical to return this site to State 1 with accelerating practices.
Submodel
Resilience management
State 3 to Unknown Site. Excessive soil loss and changes in the hydrologic cycle caused by continued improper grazing management. Frequent fire may have played a role also. The potential of the site has been lost as it has crossed the threshold and retrogressed to a new unknown site. It is not economical to return this site to State 1 with accelerating practices.
Submodel
Mechanism
State 1, Phase 1.2 to State 2. Results from continued improper grazing management and/or frequent fire. This site has crossed the threshold. It is not economical to return this site to State 1 with accelerating practices.
Mechanism
State 1, Phase 1.3 to State 3. Results from continued improper grazing management and no fire. This site has crossed the threshold. It is not economical to return this site to State 1 with accelerating practices.
Mechanism
State 2 to State 3. Develops from continued improper grazing management and no fire. Both of these states have crossed the threshold. It is not economical to return either of them to State 1 with accelerating practices.
