A vegetation change occurs at the base of the slope, <br />at the NE corner of the area. A randomly thrown 1m2 sampling frame in <br />"typical side slope" vegetation showed 878 bareground, 2.5~ litter cover <br />and 10.4 vegetative cover. Refer to the following table. Shrubs account <br />for 58 cover and 50~ composition. Forbs were also 5~ total cover and 50~ <br />of vegetative competition. Additional sampling would be needed to produce <br />statistically significant data. The important point is that the slopes are <br />not supporting the same amount of vegetation as occurs on the majority of <br />the site. <br />Daubenmire <br />Chrysothamnus vicidiflorus <br />Chrysothamnus nauseosus <br />Abronia fragrans <br />Lepidium montanum <br />Bare ground <br />Litter <br />Random <br />Lifeform <br />Average Percent <br />2.5 2.6~ <br />2.5 2.6~ <br />2.5 2.6~ <br />2.5 2.6~ <br />B5.0 87.0 <br />2.5 2.6 <br />50~ Shrubs <br />50~ Forbs <br />frame, plot sample <br />-3- <br />
