 This ecological community has the potential for producing significant
 amounts of high quality forage. For sites in excellent condition, the
 average annual production of air dry plant materials varies from 5,000 to
 10,000 pound per acre. This variation depends on plant growth conditions.
 From 3 co 13+ acres are usually needed per animal unit depending upon
 amount and type of forages available. The relative percentage of annual
 vegetative production by weight is 80 percent grasses and grasslike
 plants, 5 percent trees and shrubs, and 15 percent herbs.
