Vegetation Composition is the mix of plant species found on a site.
Composition
is used to describe a seral (successional) stage in relation to the site's potential
to grow vegetation.
For example, a buffalo grass/blue grama grass composition
is an early seral stage compared to the site's potential
to grow western
wheatgrass/ green needlegrass (mid to late seral stage).
T.141N.
Vegetation structure is the height and density of the herbaceous (grass, sedge
and forb) community.
Residual vegetation structure is the height and density
of standing herbaceous vegetation following the grazing season.
Areas labeled "e" are lands not suitable for domestic livestock production.
Areas labeled "f" are ferret reintroduction areas.

PLEASE NOTE: Management areas are defined as parts of the
grasslands that are managed for a particular emphasis. Each
management area has a prescription that consists of a theme,

The management area prescriptions are grouped into eight major
categories, based on a continuum from least evidence of
disturbance (Category 1) to most (Category 8).
