About this file
This document is a vegetation seeding specification for a Shallow Loamy Mesa Top (Piñon-Juniper) habitat restoration project identified as F039XY141CO, covering 176 acres to be treated. The specification prescribes 14 native and introduced plant species organized into four functional categories: Sterile Graminoid, Cool-Season Graminoid, Warm-Season Graminoid, and Shrubs & Forbs.
The seeding prescription totals 23 pure live seeds (PLS) per acre and includes specific species with their corresponding seeding rates and ecological notes. The sterile graminoid component consists of Triticale at 14 PLS/acre for erosion control. Cool-season species include Indian rice grass (2 PLS/acre), Squirreltail (2 PLS/acre with notation for early successional establishment along dozer lines), Crested wheatgrass (0 PLS/acre), and Western wheatgrass (0 PLS/acre, with caution regarding ecological succession limitations). Warm-season species include Sand dropseed, Blue grama, and Sideoats grama at 1-2 PLS/acre each, along with Basin wildrye (0 PLS/acre, susceptible to overgrazing), Pubescent wheatgrass (0 PLS/acre), and Galleta (0 PLS/acre, with note regarding caryopsis measurement). The shrub and forb component includes Four-wing saltbrush (1 PLS/acre) and Winterfat (0 PLS/acre). Several species are marked at 0 PLS/acre, indicating their inclusion for species diversity and long-term ecological succession rather than establishment density.
