Vegetation Analysis <br />The mature shrub transpalnts were observed on June 7, 1979 and <br />those that were blooming (serviceberry) were noted. On August 27, 1979 <br />the live shrubs were counted. Any transplant without green leaves or <br />sprouts were considered "dead". <br />Results <br />Overall survival of serviceberry and snowberry in 1979 is 94%. <br />• (Table ) indicating that high survival rates for mature transplants <br />of these species can be expected regardless of treatments applied. <br />The other species evaluated were totally unsuccessful with the excep- <br />tion of chokecherry which demonstrated a moderate survival rate of <br />33". It is interesting that all five of the chokecherry living in <br />1978 were still alive in late summer 1979, in spite of the fact that <br />all five were completely defoliated during a tent catepillar infesta- <br />tion in early summer. Some of the serviceberry were also partially <br />defoliated but leafed out again by mid-summer. This would seem to <br />indicate that these two species are firmly established, and a very <br />low rate of mortaility is expected in the future. <br />During the 1978 growing season many of the serviceberry bloomed <br />and set seed. During the 1979 growing season aver seventy percent of <br />• the serviceberry transplanted in the fall of 1975 without MgAmp bloomed <br />and set seed. None of the transplants receiving tlgAmp bloomed, and in <br />
