Climatic features
Annual precipitation ranges from 15-19 inches per year. Wide fluctuations may occur in yearly precipitation and result in more dry years than those with more than normal precipitation. Temperatures show a wide range between summer and winter and between daily maximums and minimums. This is predominantly due to the high elevation and dry air, which permits rapid incoming and outgoing radiation. Cold air outbreaks in winter move rapidly from northwest to southeast and account for extreme minimum temperatures. Extreme storms may occur during the winter, but most severely affect ranch operations during late winter and spring.
Prevailing winds are from the southwest and strong winds are less frequent than over other areas of Wyoming. Occasional storms, however, can bring brief periods of high winds with gusts exceeding 50 mph.
Growth of native cool season plants begins about May 1 and continues to about August 1.

Influencing water features
Soil features
The soils of this site are deep to very deep (greater than 20”to bedrock) moderately well drained soils formed in alluvium. These soils have water tables below the surface for all of the growing season. The water table is non-saline and non-alkaline. These areas may have water over the surface from run-in but only for short periods of time. Layers of the soil most influential to the plant community vary from 3 to 6 inches thick.

Ecological dynamics
As this site deteriorates from frequent and severe grazing, grasses such as basin wildrye and tufted hairgrass will decrease in frequency and production. Western wheatgrass tends to increase. Under continued frequent and severe defoliation, the plant community will eventually become sod-bound. Over the long-term this sod will ultimately become broken with areas of bare ground developing and species such as Kentucky bluegrass and annuals invading.
The historic climax plant community (description follows the State and Transition Model Diagram) has been determined by study of rangeland relic areas, or areas protected from excessive disturbance. Trends in plant communities going from heavily grazed areas to lightly grazed areas, seasonal use pastures, and historical accounts have also been used.
The following is a State and Transition Model Diagram that illustrates the common plant communities that can occur on the site and the transitions between these communities. The ecological processes will be discussed in more detail in the plant community narratives following the diagram.

State 1
Basin wildrye, Tufted hairgrass Plant Community
Community 1.1
Basin wildrye, Tufted hairgrass Plant Community
The interpretive plant community for this site is the Historic Climax Plant Community. This state evolved with grazing by large herbivores and is well suited for grazing by domestic livestock. Potential vegetation is about 80% grasses or grass-like plants, 10% forbs and 10% woody plants. The major grasses include basin wildrye, tufted hairgrass, slender wheatgrass and western wheatgrass. Grasses of lesser importance are big bluegrass, bluejoint reedgrass, northern reedgrass, and Canada wildrye. Woody plants are mainly shrubby cinquefoil and willows. The total annual production (air-dry weight) of this state is about 4000 pounds per acre, but it can range from about 3500 lbs./acre in unfavorable years to about 4500 lbs./acre in above average years. The following is the growth curve of this plant community expected during a normal year: Growth curve number: Growth curve name: Growth curve description: JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC 0 0 0 0 15 30 35 10 5 5 0 0 (Monthly percentages of total annual growth) The state is stable and well adapted to the climatic conditions. The diversity in plant species and the reliable water table, allow for high drought resistance. This is a sustainable plant community (site/soil stability, watershed function, and biologic integrity). Transitions or pathways leading to other plant communities are as follows: • Moderate, continuous season-long grazing will convert this plant community to the Western wheatgrass/Kentucky bluegrass Vegetation State. • Frequent and Severe grazing will convert this plant community to Kentucky bluegrass/Dandelion Vegetation State. • Downcutting the watercourse will convert this state to a Dry Western wheatgrass/Annuals Plant Community. • Non-use and no fire will convert this plant community to the Decadent Plants, Excessive Litter Plant Community. Initially, excess litter begins to build-up. Eventually native plants can show signs of mortality and decadence.

State 2
Western wheatgrass/Kentucky bluegrass Plant Community
Community 2.1
Western wheatgrass/Kentucky bluegrass Plant Community
This plant community evolved under moderate grazing by domestic livestock. Dominant grasses include rhizomatous wheatgrasses and Kentucky bluegrass. Forbs commonly found in this plant community include cudweed sagewort, cinquefoil, and western yarrow. Willows are common in the overstory. The total annual production (air-dry weight) of this state is about 2100 pounds per acre, but it can range from about 1800 lbs./acre in unfavorable years to about 2500 lbs./acre in above average years. When compared to the Historical Climax Plant Community, basin wildrye and tufted hairgrass have decreased. Kentucky bluegrass has invaded and western wheatgrass has increased. The abundant production and proximity to water make this state important for livestock and wildlife such as birds, mule deer and antelope. The state is stable and protected from excessive erosion. The biotic integrity of this plant community is usually intact. The watershed is usually functioning. The following is the growth curve expected during a normal year: Growth curve number: Growth curve name: Growth curve description: JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC 0 0 0 0 20 35 25 10 5 5 0 0 Transitional pathways leading to other plant communities are as follows: • Prescribed grazing over the long-term will result in a plant community very similar to the Historic Climax Plant Community although Kentucky bluegrass will remain a part of the plant community. • Frequent and Severe grazing will convert this plant community to the Kentucky bluegrass/Dandelion Vegetation State. • Downcutting of the watercourse will convert this state to a Dry Western wheatgrass/Cheatgrass Plant Community.

State 3
Kentucky bluegrass/Dandelion Plant Community
Community 3.1
Kentucky bluegrass/Dandelion Plant Community
This plant community is the result of long-term improper grazing use. Kentucky bluegrass, dandelion, and cheatgrass dominate this state. Noxious weeds may invade. Willows are reduced. The total annual production (air-dry weight) of this state is about 1050 pounds per acre, but it can range from about 900 lbs./acre in unfavorable years to about 1200 lbs./acre in above average years. The following is the growth curve expected during an average year. Growth curve number: Growth curve name: Growth curve description: JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC 0 0 0 0 20 35 25 10 5 5 0 0 (Monthly percentages of total annual growth) Bare ground has increased. The soil of this state is not well protected. Degraded stream banks may erode. The watershed is functioning but may produce excessive runoff. The biotic community is at risk due to invasive plants. Transitional pathways leading to other plant communities are as follows: • Prescribed grazing over the long-term will return this state to near Historic Climax Plant Community. • Downcutting of the watercourse will convert this state to a Dry Western wheatgrass/Annuals Plant Community.

State 4
Dry, Western wheatgrass/ Cheatgrass
Community 4.1
Dry, Western wheatgrass/ Cheatgrass
This plant community is the result of down cutting of watercourses adjacent to the site. This results in a lowering of the water table to the point it is no longer available to grass plants. Compared to the Historic Climax Plant Community this state has changed drastically. The water table is lowered and production is decreased. Basin wildrye and tufted hairgrass have decreased. Western wheatgrass has increased. Annuals have invaded. Noxious weeds also may invade the state. The soil is being eroded by severe bank erosion. The total annual production (air-dry weight) of this state is about 750 pounds per acre, but it can range from about 600 lbs./acre in unfavorable years to about 900 lbs./acre in above average years. The following is the growth curve of this plant community expected during a normal year: Growth curve number: Growth curve name: Growth curve description: JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC 0 0 0 15 30 30 10 5 5 5 0 0 (Monthly percentages of total annual growth) The watershed is not functional due to erosion and bare ground. The biotic community has lost much of its value due to the loss of the water table. Transitional pathways leading to other plant communities are as follows: • Changing this state to the Historical Climax Plant Community is not practical due to the loss of the water table.

State 5
Decadent Plants, Excessive Litter Plant Community
Community 5.1
Decadent Plants, Excessive Litter Plant Community
This plant community occurs after an extended period of non-use, and where fire has been eliminated. The dominant plants tend to be similar to those found in the Historic Climax Plant Community, however in advanced stages, frequency and production can be lower. Litter amounts have increased causing plants to become decadent. Much of the plant nutrients are tied up in excessive litter. Organic matter oxidizes in the air rather than being incorporated into the soil due to the absence of animal impact. Typically, bunchgrasses (basin wildrye) develop dead centers and rhizomatous grasses (western wheatgrass) form small colonies because of a lack of tiller stimulation. Total annual production (air-dry weight) is about 3,800 pounds per acre during an average year, but it can range from about 3,400 pounds per acre in unfavorable years to about 4,200 pounds per acre in above average years. The following is the growth curve of this plant community expected during an average year: Growth curve number: Growth curve name: Growth curve description: JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC 0 0 0 0 10 30 35 15 5 5 0 0 (monthly percentages of total annual growth) This plant community is not resistant to change. Grazing or fire can easily move it toward the HCPC. Soil erosion is not a concern due to increased litter levels and landscape position. Transitions or pathways leading to other plant communities are as follows: • Prescribed grazing or fire will shift this plant community towards the Basin wildrye, Tufted hairgrass Plant Community (HCPC).

Interpretations
Animal community
Animal Community – Wildlife Interpretations
Historic Climax Plant Community: The predominance of grasses in this plant community favors grazers and mixed-feeders, such as bison, elk, and antelope. Suitable thermal and escape cover for deer may be limited due to the low quantities of woody plants. However, topographical variations could provide some escape cover. Birds that would frequent this plant community include western meadowlarks, horned larks, and golden eagles. Many grassland obligate small mammals would occur here.
Western wheatgrass/Kentucky bluegrass: This plant community may be useful for the same large grazers that would use the Historic Climax Plant Community. However, the plant community composition is less diverse, and thus, less apt to meet the seasonal needs of these animals. Good grasshopper habitat equals good foraging for birds.
Kentucky bluegrass/dandelion: This plant community may be useful for the same large grazers that would use the Historic Climax Plant Community. However, the plant community composition is less diverse, and thus, less apt to meet the seasonal needs of these animals. Good grasshopper habitat equals good foraging for birds.
Dry wheatgrass/Cheatgrass: This plant community may be useful for the same large grazers that would use the Historic Climax Plant Community. However, the plant community composition is less diverse, and thus, less apt to meet the seasonal needs of these animals. Good grasshopper habitat equals good foraging for birds.
Decadent Plants, Excess Litter Community: This community has low habitat value for most wildlife species.
Animal Community – Grazing Interpretations
The following tables list suggested initial stocking rates for cattle under continuous grazing (year long grazing or growing season long grazing) under normal growing conditions; however, continuous grazing is not typically recommended. These are conservative estimates that should be used only as guidelines in the initial stages of the conservation planning process. Often, the current plant composition does not entirely match any particular plant community as described in this ecological site description. Because of this, a field visit is recommended, in all cases, to document plant composition and production. More precise carrying capacity estimates should eventually be calculated using the following stocking rate information along with animal preference data, particularly when grazers other than cattle are involved. Under more intensive grazing management, improved harvest efficiencies can result in an increased carrying capacity.
Plant Community Production Carrying
15-19” Precipitation Capacity
(lbs./acre) (AUM/acre)
Basin wildrye, Tufted hairgrass 4000 2.0
Western wheatgrass/Kentucky bluegrass 2100 1.2
Kentucky bluegrass/dandelion 1050 1.0
Dry, western wheatgrass/Cheatgrass 750 .25
Decadent Plants, Excess Litter 3800 1.30
Grazing by domestic livestock is one of the major income-producing industries in the area. Rangelands in this area provide seasonal forage under prescribed grazing for cattle, sheep, horses and other herbivores. During the dormant period, livestock may need supplementation based on reliable forage analysis.
Hydrological functions
Climate is the principal factor limiting forage production on this site. This site is dominated by soils in hydrologic group B and C, with localized areas in hydrologic group D. Infiltration ranges from moderately slow to moderately rapid. Runoff potential for this site varies from moderate to high depending on soil hydrologic group and ground cover. In many cases, areas with greater than 75% ground cover have the greatest potential for high infiltration and lower runoff. An example of an exception would be where short-grasses form a strong sod and dominate the site. Areas where ground cover is less than 50% have the greatest potential to have reduced infiltration and higher runoff (refer to Part 630, NRCS National Engineering Handbook for detailed hydrology information).
Rills and gullies should not typically be present. Water flow patterns should be barely distinguishable if at all present. Pedestals are only slightly present in association with bunchgrasses. Litter typically falls in place, and signs of movement are not common. Chemical and physical crusts are rare to non-existent. Cryptogamic crusts are present, but only cover 1-2% of the soil surface.
Recreational uses
This site provides hunting, hiking, photography, bird watching and other opportunities. The wide varieties of plants that bloom from spring until fall have an esthetic value that appeals to visitors.
Wood products
No appreciable wood products are present on the site.
Other products
None noted.

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.
