Body

On No Man's Land Mesa, a relict area in Kane County, Utah, two distinctly different soils were found which produce significantly different kinds and amounts of vegetation. The Upland sand (Pinon-Juniper) site yielded an average of about 1100 lb/acre airdry comprising 10% grass, 5% forbs and 85% trees and shrubs. The Upland shallow breaks (Pinon-Juniper) site yielded an average of nearly 800 lb/acre comprising 5% grass, 5% forbs and 90% trees and shrubs. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
