ZZCCMMCMX <br />Shrub/Farb Island Seed Mixture <br />The shrub/forb island seed mixture (Table 3) will be used to establish patches of higher density shrubs <br />and forbs within larger areas seeded with the permanent grassland seed mixture. These islands will <br />provide cover and food sources for different animal species than the grass -dominated areas. This seed <br />mixture will be broadcast at a target rate of 50 pure live seeds per square foot (PLS/sf). Alternate plant <br />species are presented in Table S. <br />Table 3: Shrub/Forb Island Seed Mixture <br />Scientific Name <br />Common Name <br />Desired <br />Species <br />1 Composition <br />Average <br />Seeds/Lb <br />PLS <br />Lbs/ac <br />PLS/ <br />Sq Ft <br />Grasses <br />Bouteloua gracilis <br />blue grama <br />10% <br />825,000 <br />0.26 <br />5 <br />Grass Subtotal <br />1096 <br />0.26 <br />S <br />Forbs <br />Achillea millefolium <br />common yarrow <br />5% <br />2,700,000 <br />0.04 <br />2.5 <br />Artemisia frigida <br />prairie sagewort <br />10% <br />4,500,000 <br />0.05 <br />5 <br />Artemisia ludoviciana <br />white sagebrush <br />10% <br />4,500,000 <br />0.05 <br />5 <br />Astragalus bisulcatus <br />twogrooved milkvetch <br />5% <br />400,000 <br />0.27 <br />2.5 <br />Dalea purpurea <br />purple prairie clover <br />5% <br />210,000 <br />0.52 <br />2.5 <br />Gaillardia aristota <br />blanketflower <br />5% <br />132,000 <br />0.83 <br />1.5 <br />Neliomeris multiflora <br />showy goldeneye <br />5% <br />1,055,000 <br />0.10 <br />2.5 <br />Linum lewisd <br />Lewis flax <br />10% <br />170,000 <br />1.28 <br />5 <br />Penstemon ongustifolius <br />broadbeard beardtongue <br />2% <br />223,000 <br />0.20 <br />1 <br />Ratibida columnifera <br />1 upright prairie coneflower <br />10% <br />740,000 <br />0.29 <br />5 <br />Sphaeralcea coccinea <br />scarlet globemallow <br />5% <br />500,000 <br />0.22 <br />2.5 <br />Forb Subtotal <br />72% <br />3.84 <br />36 <br />Shrubs. _ <br />Atriplex canescens <br />fourwing saltbush <br />9% <br />52,000 <br />3.77 <br />4.5 <br />Ericameria nouseoso <br />rubber rabbitbrush <br />9% <br />400,000 <br />0.49 <br />4.5 <br />Shrub Subtotal <br />18% <br />4.26 <br />9 <br />Combined Total <br />100% <br />8.37 <br />50 <br />M-1977-208 5 TR -16 <br />
