RULE 2 PERMITS <br />and 24 percent (194 pounds per acre) due to annuals (grasses contributing 164 pounds per acre and forbs <br />contributing 30 pounds per acre). Noxious weeds were not found in any of the sampling quadrants in this <br />reference area (Table 2.04.10-74). <br />Woody plant density in the reference area was 5,295 woody plants per acre with dominance by holly <br />grape (2,037 plants per acre), low rabbitbrush (1,822 plants per acre), and mountain big sagebrush (1,019 <br />plants per acre). The shrub lifeform accounts for 100 percent of the total. One important parameter that <br />should be noted for this finding is that the density of sagebrush was in the range of 1,000 plants per acre <br />as opposed to the normal sagebrush community density of 4,000 to 5,000 plants per acre (Table 2.04.10- <br />75 ). <br />Noxious Weeds <br />Seven noxious weeds were encountered within the Vegetation Study Area and reference areas. In most <br />cases, the density of the noxious weeds was low and only occasionally detected in sufficient quantities <br />during ground cover sampling. There was one instance where the quantities were elevated, which <br />involved Canada thistle which was within the wetland community. It was the most dominant plant <br />recorded. <br />Collom — Rule 2, Page 59 Revision Date: 4/7/17 <br />Revision No.: RN -07 <br />
