-33- <br />• Vegetation Type #3 - Juniper. The juniper oommuLity, characterized by Utah <br />juniper trees, comprises 1.BO acres on the study area. This type is actu- <br />ally an agricultural sub-type as the herbaceous understory is alfalfa <br />hay meadow. Juniper trees within this agricultural area were well scattered <br />and thus, do not appear to have any affect on the production and species <br />composition of the understory vegetation which is an alfalfa field. For <br />reasons discussed earlier, only the trees were sampled in this type. Tree <br />density was 45.7 trees/acre (a total of 59 trees occur within the type) <br />and basal area averaged 737.10 cinz. All trees were Utah juniper. This <br />juniper area represents scattered individual trees in an alfalfa field. <br />Wyoming DEQ Guidleine #2 (March, 1979) does not require quantitative <br />Dover or production estimates for agricultural areas or for tree strata, <br />thus reference areas for this site were not necessary. <br />• <br /> <br />APR g ~ggp' <br />
