Success of the reclaimed areas in Section ?2 to the south of the county road <br />varies depending on the aspect and the slope. North facing areas are generally <br />much better in ter~rns of vegetative cover than south and east facing slopes. <br />Smooth brume seems to be the most abundant grass present with few warm season <br />sper_ies observed. This introduced species did not fare well during the prolonged <br />drought. Weeds seem to have taken advantage of the lack of competition and are <br />wide-spread in areas lacking significant desirable cover. Species noted during <br />the inspection included crested wheatyrass, western wheatgrass, smooth tirome, <br />intermediate wheatyrass, bindweed, scotch thistle, houndstongue. redst.em fiiaree, <br />cicer milkvetch, Indian ricegrass, sayehrush, and rubber rabbitbrush. <br />~~ <br />•~ -. <br />• .- <br />~,. ~'U73 <br />_,. - 1• <br />Norv~ f s m,r s ~.•pi~ n Section 22 May 2003 <br />~~~ ~~ <br />,k; ~ <br />.~-.~r.ir•.g slope <br />Overall, the areas inspected were found improved over this time last year and <br />qualitatively rated in fair condition for the spring season. <br />
