Transect locations or orientations that resulted in <br />overlap of previous transects or the sampling azea boundary were randomly redirected prior to the <br />point of overlap. Vegetative ground cover was evaluated by placing a fifty meter tape along each <br />transect location. Two sampling points (one meter apart) on both sides of the transect were <br />sampled a[ one meter intervals, resulting in 100 sample points per transect. Each corresponding <br />sample point was determined by projection of the ocular sight (Cover-Point Optical Point <br />Projection Device (Model 2) vertically downward and physically recording all manner of "first <br />hits". The "first-hits" were recorded as rock, bare ground, litter, and live vegetation. Live <br />RY'A V.OSI~Alarch 19, 199] A-2 <br />
