Mechanism
Results from continued improper grazing management and/or frequent fire. This site has crossed the threshold. It is economically impractical to move the site back to State 1 with accelerated practices.
Mechanism
Results from continued improper grazing management and no fire. This site has crossed the threshold. It is economically impractical to move the site back to State 1 with accelerated practices.
Mechanism
Develops from continued improper grazing management and no fire.
Mechanism
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 economically impractical to move the site back to State 1 with accelerated practices.
