Agropyron smithii, Stipa comata, Bromus japonicus, Bromus inermis, Poa pratensis, Stipa viridula Forbs. Artemisia ludoviciana, Chrysopsis villosa, Achillea millefolium, Melilotus officinale Shrubs. Artemisia carta, Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus, Gutierrezia sarothrae, Artemi- siajrigida Upland Between Road and Drainage Grasses. Agropyron smithii, Poa pratensis Forbs. Artemisia ludoviciana, Melilotus officinalis Drainage Shrubs and Trees. Symphoricarpos occidentalis, Prunus virginiana, Crataegus succulenta Synopsis Density and cover of Pinus ponderosa growing on Judith Mountains in background have increased dramatically over time. So have the density and cover of riparian shrubs, par- ticularly Symphoricarpos occidentalis, Prunus virginiana, and Crataegus succulenta. Although the upland herbaceous vegetation in the foreground is species rich, upland vegetation in the background is largely dominated by Agropyron smithii and Poa pratensis. 17
