Seneca II -W, C-1982-057, SL7 Veg Review <br />July 30, 2020 <br />Page 5of5 <br />Alternate Diversity Test C: The similarity index. Refer to table J-7 for the 2016 data. The Similarity <br />index between the lifeform species density for prescribed lifeforms for the 2016 BRB-3 and the Mean <br />Species Density for the acreage weighted reference area is 77%. This value exceeds 90% of the <br />standard of 70% (0.9 X 70% =63%). Therefore, Alternate Diversity Test C was successful for BR -B- <br />3 for 2016. <br />Alternate Diversity Test D: The total number of native species in an adequate sample of 2016 BRB-3 <br />herbaceous cover was 47. The total number of native species in an adequate sample of 2016 weighted <br />reference area herbaceous cover was 24.6. The BRB-3 native species exceeded that of the 2016 <br />Weighted Reference Area, so Alternate Diversity Test D is considered successful for 2016. <br />For 2016 BRB-3, Mandatory Test A passed, alternate species diversity tests, B, C and D passed as <br />well. The BRB-3 is considered successful for species diversity for 2016. <br />
