Date(yyyy): 1928
Comments: Fort Valley repeat set 38; Fort Valley repeat set 38; Coconino Sample Plot S5; 1928, 1913, and 1959. Taken 20' behind corner D4, Plot S5III(D). Area not fenced. Shows chiefly how well the branches of pulled tops have been broken down and decayed. The only seedlings present (but not visible in photo) are near the stems of old tops. One seedling 14" tall is at point where man kneels. This has been badly stunted through grazing of sheep. Has this area been fenced, there would, undoubtedly, be many seedlings established by this time as conditions are favorable. See La-143 (1959). See also DJN-129, DJN-128
