Twenty-four plant species or 18 percent of the flora are introduced <br />weeds or cultivars from outside the geographic region. Quackgrass is <br />listed by Thornton 11974) as a restricted noxious weed, very objectionable <br />but can be controlled. Quackgrass was encountered on cover transacts <br />in both vegetation types with low fo moderate frequency. Whitetop <br />Laada~ia cha~apenai~, a species closely resembling the prohibited noxious <br />weed Caadania d~aba, was encountered infrequently (0.2 percent cover) in <br />the Mountain Shrubland vegetation type. C~2daitia species in general are <br />considered weedy in most western states IWDEQ 19801. <br />There are no federally listed threatened or endangered plant species <br />or species of special concern on the study site. Additionally, there ere <br />no selenium indicators on this site as listed by WDEQ 119801. <br />3.4 SAMPLE CHARACTERISTICS AND ADEQUACY <br />Table 10 provides data on the adequacy of cover, production, and <br />shrub end tree density sampling and on species diversify. A statistically <br />adequate number of cover samples was taken. Adequacy was not reached <br />for production or woody stem density in either community; however, the <br />maximum number of samples las agreed on by CMLRI was taken. <br />3.5 DATA TABLES ANO OTHER TABULAR INFORMATION <br />This section contains all data tables and other tabular information <br />as presented and described in previous sections except summary tables <br />which appear in Section 4.0. <br />-11- <br />
