Improvement only Is needed on 2,977,728 acres of range and 

 542,234 acres of pasture. Under dryland conditions, the forage cover 

 is inadequate but can be improved or restored by applying recommended 

 management practices and following grazing systems to protect the 

 resource. Some of the desired types of vegetation are present but the 

 stand is so thin that natural revegetation needs additional management 

 to provide a satisfactory cover. Mechanical measures and weed control 

 are often needed to obtain a satisfactory recovery of the stand.
