Description and hydrologic analysis of two small watersheds in Utah's Wasatch Mountains descriptionhydro127john Year: 1972 occurs mostly along the stream bottoms and along the ridges. Vegetation cover averages 51 percent, but varies from 35 to 73 percent. Up to 44 percent bare ground may be found in some areas. Major species include: California brome, smooth brome, orchard grass, Ken- tucky bluegrass, June grass, bluebell, sweet- pea, goldenrod, aster, lupine, false hellebore, wyethia, tarweed, and catchweed. Mountain Brush Small patches of mountain brush (fig. 9) are scattered throughout both study areas, but the brush is more prevalent on the south- west-facing side slopes above the stream bot- toms. This type occupies 7 percent of the East Branch and 11 percent of the West Branch, and the stands are quite dense and difficult to penetrate. Vegetation and litter cover nearly 70 percent of the ground. The major brush species are chokecherry, snow- berry, and serviceberry. Other associated spe- cies are: tarweed, California brome, pepper- weed, bluebell, aster, wyethia, and eriogonum. Sagebrush-Grass The sagebrush type (fig. 10) is largely re- stricted to a narrow band between the aspen and the ridge line; the sagebrush type occurs on 15 percent of the East Branch but on only 4 percent of the West Branch. Although vege- tation covers about 50 percent of the ground on both watersheds, the percent of litter for sagebrush is the lowest of any of the six vege- tation types. Sagebrush has a higher percent of rock (25) and rock-bare ground combina- tion (45) than any other type. Common as- sociates in this type are: snowberry, manzan- ita, wild rose, rabbitbrush, buckwheat, aster, paintbrush, geranium, lupine, June grass, Cali- fornia brome, and Western wheatgrass. Wet Meadow The wet meadow (fig. 11) is a very small but distinctive vegetation type that occupies only percent and 2 percent of the East
