PLEASE NOTE: Management areas are defined as parts of the grasslands or
forests that are managed for a particular emphasis. Each management area
T.3S.
has a prescription that consists of a theme, desired conditions, and standards
and guidelines that apply to it.
The management area prescriptions are
T.3S.
grouped into eight major categories, based on a continuum from least
evidence of disturbance (Category 1) to most (Category 8).
The management areas on this map are further explained in Chapter 3 of the
Revised Land and Resource Management Plan. The differences between
R.31E.
alternatives may be better understood if the reader compares alternative maps

while reviewing the accompanying Environmental Impact Statement.

Desired Vegetation condition is described in terms of composition and structure.
T.10S.
Vegetation Composition is the mix of plant species found on a site.
in relation to the site's potential to grow vegetation.
Composition is used to describe a seral (successional) stage
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).
Vegetation structure is the height and density of the herbaceous (grass, sedge or 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.
T.11S.
Areas labeled "f" are ferret reintroduction areas.
