CONCLUSION <br />The vegetation types in the permit areas of the Maxwell and <br />Allen Mines were inventoried for herbaceous cover and production, and <br />density of shrubs, trees and saplings. The results were used to <br />indicate dominant species in each vegetation type. <br />Dominants in the grassland type were Boutelouarag cilis, <br />Artemisia frigida, Carex eleocharis, and Xanthocephalum sarothrae. <br />Dominants in the pinyon -juniper type were Pinus edulis, Juniperus <br />scopulorum, Artemisia frigida, Astragalus striatus, Astragalus flex- <br />uosus, and Townsendia eximia. <br />Dominants in the Ponderosa pine -Douglas fir -oak type were <br />Pinus ponderosa, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Quercus gambelii, Carex spp., <br />Bouteloua curtipendula, DanthoniaaP rryi, and perennial forbs. <br />Dominants in the Ponderosa pine -oak type were Pinus ponderosa, Pinus <br />edulis, Quercus gambelii, Danthonia parryi, Carex sp., perennial <br />forbs, Thalictrum fendleri, and Bouteloua curtipendula. Dominants in <br />the willow carr type were Salix exi ua, Artemisia dracunculus, Linaria <br />vulgaris, Carex and Juncus spp., and Cirsium vul are. <br />In all cases, the dominants clearly reflected the true charac- <br />teristics of the vegetation types. A combination of growth habits, <br />soils, elevation, and moisture affected the cover, production and <br />density of species in each type. <br />16 <br />0 <br />
