The locations of these reference areas are shown on the Vegetation map (Map 4) and Regional Vegetation map(Map 3). An additional reference area was established in 2018, the Collom Aspen reference area, and the location of it is shown on Map 4C Sheet 1. Extensive,detailed vegetative sampling was performed, duplicating the methodologies as described in Section 2.04.10. The reference areas were sampled for herbaceous cover, herbaceous production and woody plant density. Species diversity was determined utilizing herbaceous cover data from the premining inventory of the sagebrush,mountain shrub, and aspen communities. The reference areas are each approximately seven acres in size. Statistical tests were performed on the vegetative data from the reference areas to prove that they were comparable to the premined area. The parameters compared were herbaceous cover and herbaceous production. Sample size adequacy tests were performed on both the premine and reference area data to insure that rep.eserfttive eeve. and F.oduetion data had been obtained at the 89% level of eertfidenee.
