The transects were spaced approximately 40 meters <br />apart. Cover estimates were obtained using a tripod-mounted ocular point bar, <br />with two readings taken at 5 meter intervals along the transect. Woody plant <br />density was estimated by counting woody plants within a 2m x 20m belt along each <br />transect. <br />Data Summary <br />(Reference any tables, diagrams or maps attached) <br />See Attachment 1, Cover and Attachment 2, Woody Plant Density. <br />Narrative Evaluation of Compliance <br />For a reference area, compliance evaluation is not applicable. The reference <br />area is in a typically dense woody community dominated by gambel oak ( uecus <br />gambelii), chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), and service berry (Amelanchier <br />alnifolia) with small openings in the canopy dominated by big sagebrush <br />(Artemisia tridentata), snowberry (SYmphoricarpos oreophilus), and Kentucky <br />bluegrass (Poa pratensis), among with other grasses and fortis. A sedge species <br />(Carex sp.) occurs frequently in the tall shrub understory, along with snowberry. <br />Ground cover of living vegetation was estimated to be 62~. No attempt was made <br />to estimate tall shrub or tree canopy cover. The sample mean for woody plant <br />density was 32,984 stems per acre. Sample adequacy was not met for either <br />parameter. <br />* A separate tracking sheet should be filled out for each area and compliance <br />topic evaluated. <br />** If applicable <br />DTM/ern <br />4538E <br />
