Abstract
This book is intended to assist range managers throughout the Intermountain West (fig. 1). The areas of greatest applicability are the Middle and Southern Rocky Mountains, Wyoming Basin, Columbia and Colorado Plateaus, and much of the basin and range physiographic provinces of Fenneman (1981) or about 14° latitude, from the Mohave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan deserts to the northern Rocky Mountains, and 15° longitude, from the Great Plains to the Sierra Nevada-Cascade Mountain axis. This large area contains diverse landforms and several major vegetational communities. Nevertheless, landform and vegetative type are repeated often enough to consider the multifaceted units.
