<br /> <br /> <br />South end of Site C Mine Site <br />Due to similar slopes, aspect, vegetation, and soils for Site C, <br />Samples 2, 3 and 4; and to increase sampling point significance, the data <br />have been combined to provide an "average vegetation type" quantitative <br />estimate. Shrubs dominate the composition at 50.0$, followed by Forbs 22$ <br />and Grass 28.0. Bare ground accounted for 73~ of the sampling areas with <br />9.5$ litter cover. Shrubs provide 8.5~ total cover, Grass 5~ and Forbs 4$. <br />An important component of these sample sites has been vegetative <br />litter. While the sparse vegetation is readily apparent, the litter is not <br />as obvious and should be carefully considered in re-vegetation efforts. <br /> Intercept Percent <br />Species Points Count <br />Chrysothamnus vicidiflorus 7 6.5 <br />Eurotia Janata 2 2.0 <br />Abronia fragrans 2 2.0 <br />Eriogonum loncophyllum 1 1.0 <br />Lepidium montanum 1 1.0 <br />Oryzopsis hymenoides 5 5.0 <br />Litter 10 9.5 <br />Bare ground 77 73.0 <br />Total 105 100 <br />(continued on page 13) <br />-12- <br />
