Agropyron smithii. Agropyron cristatum, Poa pratensis Hillside Grasses. Agropyron smithii, Koeleria pyramidata, Stipa comata, Bouteloua gracilis Shrubs. Juniperus horizontalis, Rhus trilobata, Shepherdia canadensis, Symphoricarpos occidentalis Synopsis This site is of a hillside with very thin soil and a rock out- crop, which is in center of the photo. The diversity and den- sity of shrub species had increased on this site by the time the 1959 photo was taken. The 1998 photo shows an increased use similar to that in 1917. A livestock water- ing tank, located about 50 yards behind the photopoint, may be affecting this area. 13
