Comments: Near Big Fill Fenced Plot. This area is adjacent to corner of fenced plot. Cover is very similar to that under fence indicating gradual improvement under better management where soil was deep. Some areas on the adjacent grazed range are in weed (Ssa0Ari) stage and others in early grass (Bgr-Afe) stage, representing thedifferent successional stages below the climax bunchgrass and weeds. Some of the differenced in vegetation are due to differences in soil depth above the underlying limestone cap. Compare with G-245 (WO 421141).
