l SPECIES COD4POSITION <br />Evaluation of species composition is based on quantitative relative cover data. For the <br />purposes of this evaluation, relative importance is considered equivalent to relative <br />cover. <br />AREA 1 <br />Area 1 sampling identified five graminoid species which each accounted for greater <br />than three percent relative cover. These species were Agropyron cristatum (21.5%), <br />Agropyron smithii (7.5%), A~ropyron trachycau/um (7.5%), Bromus tectorum (7.5%), <br />and Elymus junceus (6.4%). <br />0 <br />Five forbs species each accounted for greater than three percent relative cover in Area <br />1. These forb species were Salsola &ali (9.7%), Descuramia Sophia (8.6%), Erodium <br />circutarium (6.4 %), Kochia scoparia (4.3 % ), and Chorispora tenel/a (3.2 %). <br />One woody plant species encountered, Atriplex canescens (7.5 %) comprised greater <br />than three percent of the relative cover. <br />AREA 2 <br />Sampling in Area 2 identified four graminoid species which each accounted for greater <br />than three percent relative cover. These species were Bromus tectorum (16.0%), <br />Agropyron cristatum (15.4%), Aygropyron trachycaulum (4.0%), and Agropyron <br />J intermedium (3.4%). ~' <br />_~ Four forbs species each accounted for greater than three percent relative cover in Area <br />2. These forb species were Medicago saliva (20.6%), Centaurea repens (5.7%), <br />Conrowlus arrensis (4.6%), and Erodium circutarium (3.4%). <br />' One woody plant species encountered, Atriplex canescens (3.4%) comprised greater <br />than three percent of the relative cover. <br />16 <br />
