MLRA notes

Major Land Resource Area (MLRA): 048B–Southern Rocky Mountain Parks and Valleys

This area is in Colorado (96 percent) and Wyoming (4 percent). It makes up about 2,325 square miles (6,020 square kilometers). The town of Walden, in the northern part of this MLRA, is in a wide valley locally known as North Park. The town of Kremmling is in a valley locally known as Middle Park. The town of Hartsel, in the center of the southern part of the MLRA, is in a broad intermontane basin locally known as South Park. The northern part is bordered by the Medicine Bow, Routt, and Arapaho National Forests, and the southern part is bordered by the San Isabel and Pike National Forests. The Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge is directly south of the town of Walden.

This area is within the Southern Rocky Mountains Province of the Rocky Mountain System. It consists of nearly level to rolling mountain parks and valleys and a few narrow mountain ridges. It occurs as two separate parts in the center of the Southern Rockies. The southern half of the northern part is on the west side of the Continental Divide, and the rest of the MLRA is on the east side of the divide. Elevation ranges from 7,850 to 10,850 feet (2,395 to 3,310 meters). The head waters of North Platte River leaves Colorado and enters Wyoming in the northern half of the northern part of the MLRA (North Park). The headwaters of Colorado River is in the southern half of the northern part of the MLRA (Middle Park). The headwaters of South Platte River is in the southern part of the MLRA (South Park).

The mountain valleys and parks that are characteristic of this MLRA are surrounded by high mountain peaks of the adjacent Southern Rocky Mountains MLRA (48A). Steep slopes give rise to steep-gradient streams that can move cobbles and gravel from the mountain slopes down into the valleys. The coarse textured sediments on the surface of this area were deposited by either glacial meltwater or present-day rivers. Buried deep beneath the sediments is a complex of sedimentary and igneous rocks. Residuum from sedimentary rocks is on the steeper slopes that were not covered by alluvium and glacial outwash.

The average annual precipitation is mainly 10 to 16 inches (255 to 405 millimeters), but it is as high as 28 inches (710 millimeters) at the higher elevations that border the Southern Rocky Mountains MLRA. Precipitation generally increases with elevation. Rainfall occurs as high-intensity, convective thunderstorms during the growing season. About half of the annual precipitation falls as snow. Soil moisture is unevenly distributed within short distances because of snowdrifts. The amount of precipitation is highly influenced by rain shadows. The surrounding peaks receive most of the precipitation as storm systems traverse the area. The average annual temperature is 35 to 42 degrees F (1 to 6 degrees C). The freeze-free period averages 95 days and ranges from 70 to 120 days, decreasing in length with elevation.

The dominant soil order in this MLRA is Mollisols. Alfisols are of lesser extent. The soils are very shallow to deep, generally well drained, and loamy or clayey and have mixed or smectitic mineralogy. The soil temperature regime is dominantly cryic, but it is frigid in some small areas, primarily on south- or west-facing slopes. The soil moisture regime is mainly ustic, but a marginal aridic regime has been identified in areas where the average annual precipitation is less than about 12 inches (305 millimeters). The most extensive great group is Argicryolls (Hodden, Lucky, Parlin, Tiagos, and Cabin series), which commonly formed in outwash and slope alluvium on outwash terraces, fan remnants, hills, and mountain slopes. Haplocryolls (Redcloud and Tealson series) formed in outwash and slope alluvium on outwash terraces, valley side slopes, hills, and ridges. Haplocryalfs (Gebson and Harsha series) formed in slope alluvium and outwash on outwash terraces, fan remnants, hills, ridges, and mountain slopes. Cryaquolls (Dobrow and Randman series) formed in alluvium on stream terraces and flood plains.

Climatic features

The climate is semi-arid with precipitation averaging 14 to 18 inches. The mean growing season averages approximately 65 to 90 days from June 10 to September 30. In average years, there is sufficient moisture at the beginning of the growing season to initiate growth in such cool-season grasses as western wheatgrass, muttongrass, needle and thread, mountain muhly, and bottlebrush squirreltaiI. Their optimum growing season is early May through July. The warm season grasses, such as blue grama and little bluestem, have their optimum growing season from July through August, if adequate moisture is available. About 50% of the annual precipitation falls in the form of rain during the frost free season. There are 2 days per year that the precipitation equals or exceeds 1.0 inch, 7 days meet, equal or exceed 0.5 inch and 41 days that equal or exceed 0.1 inch.

The average annual temperature is 42 degrees F, with one day higher than 90 degrees F and 35 days lower than zero degrees F.

Temperatures fall below the freezing mark much of the time in September through March. Dates of 32 degrees F have occurred as late as June 10 in the spring.

Soil features

The soils are moderately deep to deep; very cobbly sandy loam which have developed on terraces and fans from glacial outwash. The surface typically contains over 35 percent rock fragments greater than three inches in diameter. However there are many areas where the top two or three inches of soil have very few rock fragments. Water intake rates are very rapid, and soils are excessively well drained with poor water holding capacity.

Dominant grasses are Arizona fescue, mutton grass, mountain muhly, and western wheatgrass. Less abundant grasses include blue grama, bottlebrush squirreltail, needle-and-thread, and little bluestem. Dominant forbs include Nebraska lupine and Louisiana sagewort. Numerous other forb species occur in minor amounts. Shrubs that occur on this site include Howards rabbitbrush, yellow (small) rabbitbrush, threadleaf rubber rabbitbrush, spineless (gray) horsebrush, FendIer ceanothus, and small soapweed. Half-shrubs include fringed sagewort, toadflax, penstemon, and broom snakeweed.

State 1
Reference State

If ecological retrogression is cattle-induced, desirable grasses will decrease. However, if retrogression is sheep-induced, desirable forbs and shrubs may be reduced. Deterioration of this site caused by continuous grazing by cattle will decrease the percentage of grasses such as Canada bluegrass, muttongrass, needle and thread, Arizona fescue, little bluestem, elk sedge, western wheatgrass and mountain muhly. With the decrease of these plants; blue grama, bottlebrush squirreltail, slimstem muhly, and sun sedge will increase initially along with yellow (small) rabbitbrush, Howard's rabbitbrush, broom snakeweed, and fringed sagewort. Forbs, half-shrubs and shrubs likely to increase include oak brush, granite gilia, northwestern cinquefoil, rose pussytoes, white sagebrush (Louisiana sagewort), and Nebraska lupine. Continued overgrazing will reduce blue grama, needle and thread, and bottlebrush squirreltail, and further increase slimstem muhly, sun sedge, and less preferred forbs and shrubs. Plant species likely to invade include Kentucky bluegrass, cheatgrass, flannel mullein, sleepygrass, crypthanta, and prickly pear cactus. Basal area (the area of ground surface covered by the perennial vegetation measured one inch above the soil) is approximately 15 percent.

Interpretations

Animal community

Native Animal Community Associated with the Potential Plant Community:
This range site provides habitats which support a resident animal community that is characterized by antelope, smalI mammals, non-game birds, and an occasional coyote, elk, or deer. Elk may use the site extensively for winter range or transitional range between summer and winter range.

Livestock Grazing:
There are a variety of grasses and shrubs that provide good nutrition for grazing animals. Continuous early grazing each spring by cattle wiII cause western wheatgrass, needle-and-thread, and other early spring grasses to be replaced by warm-season grasses such as blue grama, or unpalatable grasses such as slimstem muhly or mat muhly. A system of deferred grazing, which varies the season of grazing use in pastures during successive years, is needed to maintain a healthy well-balanced plant community. Rest during different seasons of the year benefits different plants. Summer rest during July or August would benefit warm-season plants such as Little bluestem or blue grama. Spring rest from April through July benefits cool-season plants such as needle-and-thread, Arizona fescue western wheatgrass, mountain muhly, muttongrass, canada bluegrass and elk sedge.

Wildlife Values

This site provides good habitat and food for deer and antelope, which declines only slightly with ecological retrogression. It has high value for elk winter range. As ecological condition decreases, however, value for elk winter range decreases rapidly.

Hydrological functions

Soils in this site are grouped into "A" & "B" hydro logic groups, as outlined in the Soils of Colorado Loss Factors and Erodibility Hydroloqic Groupings handbook. Field investigations are needed to determine hydrologic cover conditions. Refer to Peak Flows in Colorado handbook, and NRCS National Engineering Handbook, Section 4, for hydrologic curve numbers in determining runoff quantities.

Recreational uses

Recreation uses on this site are minor. Limited antelope hunting may occur. The site is somewhat colorful during spring when forbs are in bloom.

Wood products

No potential on this site.

Other information

This ecological site grades into an unwritten site which might be called a "Wet Mountain Outwash '' which has a seasonal water tabIe and has sedges, rushes, and other meadow vegetation. This wetter site is carried as Mountain Outwash in the Custer County SoiI Survey.

The mountain outwash site in Gunnison and Saguache counties on the west slope of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and other mountain ranges differs in that mountain big sagebrush is present and usually is lacking in oakbrush in this Loamy Glacial Outwash site.

--Site Development and Testing Plan--:

Future work to validate and further refine the information in this Provisional Ecological Site Description is necessary. This will include field activities to collect low-, medium-, and high-intensity sampling, soil correlations, and analysis of that data.

Additional information and data is required to refine the Plant Production and Annual Production tables for this ecological site. The extent of MLRA 48A must be further investigated.

Field testing of the information contained in this Provisional ESD is required. As this ESD is moved to the Approved ESD level, reviews from the technical team, quality control, quality assurance, and peers will be conducted.

Rangeland health reference sheet

Interpreting Indicators of Rangeland Health is a qualitative assessment protocol used to determine ecosystem condition based on benchmark characteristics described in the Reference Sheet. A suite of 17 (or more) indicators are typically considered in an assessment. The ecological site(s) representative of an assessment location must be known prior to applying the protocol and must be verified based on soils and climate. Current plant community cannot be used to identify the ecological site.
