Mechanism
Continuous Season-long Grazing will convert this plant community to the Rhizomatous Wheatgrass/Mature Cottonwood State.
Mechanism
Prescribed Grazing will result in a plant community very similar to the Reference Plant Community (Cottonwood/Basin Wildrye State).
Mechanism
Heavy continuous season long grazing along with noxious weed invasion will convert this plant community to the Introduced Grass/Noxious Weed State.
Mechanism
Chemical Seedbed Preparation and Re-seeding followed by Nonuse for two or more years may return this state to near Reference Plant Community (Cottonwood/Basin Wildrye State). However, noxious weeds will persist to some degree.
Mechanism
Prescribed Grazing and Noxious Weed Control will convert this plant community to the Managed Noxious Weed State.
