For example, the applicant has stated that there are differences within tree densities under the P.J. !Joodland types (p. 4-4B). If this is the case then the applicant should expand the number of reference areas for the P.J.yltype so.that the enherent community variablility will be accou~lfed fore The applicant should also collect vegetation data (% v r !IIa' ,' roduction) ' ~-'.~~11 f"N Pe I•^i~rP arP+l rnr cl:n ~i 1.1 !• pn•.~(t .1 rjG1..: t':~M4 Ii t iii
