Supplement to SB 659: Adjusting and Forecasting Herbage Yields in the Intermountain Big Sagebrush Region of the Steppe Province Station Bulletin 673 April 1989 Agricultural Experiment Station Oregon State University, Corvallis in cooperation with Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture Supplement to SB 659 Adjusting and Forecasting Herbage Yields in the Intermountain Big Sagebrush Region of the Steppe Province Forrest Sneva, retired range scientist USDA Agricultural Research Service Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center Burns, Oregon Supplement to Adjusting and Forecasting Herbage Yields in the Intermountain Big Sagebrush Region of the Steppe Province. Oregon State University Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin 659 Introduction to this supplement The material in this supplement is prepared to update and broaden that originally published in 1983 as Oregon State University Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin 659, Adjusting and Forecasting Herbage Yields in the Intermountain Big Sagebrush Region of the Steppe Province. The supplement consists of five sections. Section 1 adds data from some 78 stations that were not included in the 1983 bulletin. Section 2 brings the original data up to date. Section 3 provides crop year data for the new stations. Section 4 combines into a single, state-by-state list crop year data for 1986 and 1987 for all stations reported in the original bulletin and this supplement. Section 5 is a series of state-by-state representations of the modified Thiessen grid on which this work is based. Forrest A. Sneva Burns, OR March 1989 Supplement to Adjusting and Forecasting Herbage Yields in the Intermountain Big Sagebrush Region of the Steppe Province. Oregon State University Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin 659 Section 1. The precipitation median and its quartiles This section is a supplement to the Appendix, Part I, of Station Bulletin 659. It provides data on the precipitation median and its quartiles for new stations not included in Station Bulletin 659. The 78 new stations in this section either were overlooked in gathering data for the the Bulletin or there were insufficient data available for them when the original material was prepared in 1975. The statistics for these new stations are derived as described in SB 659. THE PRECIPITATION MEDIAN AND ITS QUARTILES STATION QUARTILE LEVEL FEB. AER. JUNE MAY SEPT. + JUNE JUNE TO AUG.

Oregon State University Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin 659 Section 5. Modified Thiessen grids for portions of the five Western states that are within the sagebrush steppe. These six modified Thiessen precipitation similarity grids, by State, identify the stations for which data are presented in SB 659 and this supplement. The grids are produced using the area-wide isohomeotrophe diagram as presented in Figure 3 of the bulletin (page 30). The base maps used were those of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, adjusted to the same scale. Because they are in the same scale, they may be reproduced and fitted together with only normal projection errors and they can be reduced or enlarged uniformly without losing their point-line relationship. - HILTS c0PcO OAK KNOL RS -,- 1 FORT AKE MOUN REKA lOWELl!
