Mechanism
Develops in the absence of fire or some degree of improper grazing management. A juniper seed source is present.
Mechanism
Excessive soil loss and changes in the hydrologic cycle caused by improper grazing management and/or frequent fire cause this state to cross the threshold and retrogress to a new site with reduced potential. It is not economically feasible to return this plant community to State 1 through accelerated practices
Mechanism
Continued lack of fire and improper grazing management cause this state to cross the threshold and retrogress to a new site with reduced potential due to significant soil loss and changes in hydrology. It is not economically feasible to return this plant community to State 1 through accelerated practices
