McDougland NK and Platt RC. 1976. A Method of Determining Utilization for Wet Mountain Meadows on the Summit Allotment, Sequoia National Forest, California. Journal of Range Management. 29(6):497-501
Height-weight data were systematically collected to provide a basis for determining utilization for wet mountain meadows occurring on the Summit Allotment of the Sequoia National Forest. Comparison of utilization measurements using the height-weight tables generated from the data with measurements using the current grazed plot method to determine utilization and percentage of allowed use, which will thus allow these mountain meadows to be more effectively managed.
