<br />• In addition to soils, water availability may influence the distribution <br />and density of vegetation within this type. Most of the permit area Is <br />~ L <br />located on~ eep terrain and is shaded, even during the summer <br />months, fa signiricant portions of the day. This may decrease <br />potential evaporatlan, providing relatively higher moLsture <br />availability in certain locationu, Including allowing slow melting of <br />snow in the winter and spring. This many accrount for the pronounced <br />microgeographic variation in vegetation density observed an the site <br />and the high density of mountain mahogany and gambol oak in some <br />locations. <br />;- No consistent variations within this vegetation community were ~ <br />~~ observed which appeared to correlate with slope, aspect ar elevation. <br />.. Past management does not appear to have affected this vegetation <br />community, at least for many years. No evidence of livestock <br />grazing or timber harvesting was observed on the site. <br />• <br />4. Field Data <br />Field data sheen for cover and production are attached. <br />U <br />235 <br />
