Height-weight data were systematically collected to provide a basis for determining utilization for wet mountain meadows occurring on the Summit Allotment of the Sequoia National Forest. Comparison of utilization measurements using the height-weight tables generated from the data with measurements using the current grazed plot method of the California Region, Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, showed the inadequacy of using the present grazed plot method to determine utilization and percentage of allowed use on that allotment. New standards were devised which allow for more accurate determination of utilization and percentage of allowed use, which will thus allow these mountain meadows to be more effectively managed. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
