. All-Hit Cover. Percent of dte ground surface covered by all living plant parts without regazd to whether they ate overlapped by other plant species. All plant species "hit" in vertical projection of a sampling point, even those beneath other spedes, aze named and count toward the percent cover reported. When all plant species present aze considered, these data may add to mote than 100 %. With respect to point-intercept cover sampling, "all-bit" data account for interceptions of a projected point with all species, whether or not they were the first encountered in the vertical descent of the point Note that multiple hits on the same species aze not named. Herbaceous Species. Plant species in the native annual and biennal fortis, introduced annual and biennial fortis, native annua[ grass, introduced annua[ grass, native perennial (orbs, introduced perennial (orbs, native perennial cool-season grasses and grass-like, introduced perennial cool-season grass, and ferns lifeforms. Subshmbs, shrubs, and trees aze not included. Fungi, mosses, lichens and algae aze also not included. All-Hit Total Herbaceous Vegetation Coven Summed percent cover of all herbaceous \J Cover data will include "fast-hit" and "ail-hit" cover by species (both absolute and relative values), species encountered based on "all-hit" data. total vegetation cover and cover values for litter, rock, and baze ground. If present, cover 6y mosses and lichens will also be tallied. Production: Production data will be collected as total current year's herbaceous standing clop biomass. In sampling for bond release, harvested biomass will be separated by lifefotm. Shmb or tree production will not be sampled. Values will be expressed as gm per 0.5 sq. m. and lbs/ac. Woody Plant Density: The density of shrubs and trees will be sampled in reclaimed areas. Concentrated shrub and tree planting azeas will be delineated and sampled separately from the general reclamation. Values will be presented as stems per 100 sq.m. and stems per acre. No sampling of woody plant density of reference areas is anticipated, since the standards aze not related to reference azea conditions. Speces List A list of all plant species observed during sampling will be developed Information on . currently used scientific names, common names, as well as scientific synonyms, hfeforms, and origin (native or introduced) will be included. ra-gin 41 aPVc~P,t Hams
