Mechanism
Heavy continuous grazing will shift this plant community to the Grama/Sedge Plan Community.
Mechanism
No fire for multiple years may result in the Ponderosa Pine Plant Community.
Mechanism
Long-term prescribed grazing that includes changing season of use and allowing adequate recovery periods will slowly lead this plant community back through successional stages that may eventually result in a plant community resembling the Bluestem/Needlegrass Plant Community.
