Synopsis 



The 1917 photo shows a high- 

 use area as noted by the state of 

 vegetation. By 1959, the vegeta- 

 tion had recovered moderately 

 and Artemisia tridentata had 

 increased. The 1998 photo shows 

 a more productive site, with good 

 grass cover and a tremendous 

 increase in Artemisia tridentata.
