• Shrub production will not be collected. Values will 6e in g/m2, lbs/ac and kg/ha. <br />~.^. <br />es , <br />Species List. A list of sll species observed during sampling will be developed. Common <br />names will be included es will lifef orm, origin, and longevity. The initial species list <br />will be upgraded in subsequent monitoring efforts. <br />Sampling Methodologies. The following defines the general methodologies to be used in <br />sampling. <br />Lover. Cover will be measured by the point-intercept method. The point-intercept transact <br />viii be at least 25 meters loop with at least 50 points taken. Stratified and <br />non-stratified vegetation cover will be measured. <br />Production. Production date viii be collected by She harvest method. All herbaceous <br />vegetation occurring within the vertical projection of a 1/2m2-1m2 plot will be clipped and <br />bagged. The samples will 'be oven dried and weighed to the nearest tenth of a gram. <br />2 <br />Species List. The species list will be developed from any spring flora investigations and <br />from information gathered during peek growing season sampling. <br />Samol ina Intensity. A minimum of one (7) sample for each ten (10) acres of reclaimed area <br />will be taken or until sample adequacy is achieved. Generally, et least LS samples are <br />collected unless the sampled unit is smell. Sampling locations will generally 6e <br />established through the use of random point selection. This method may be modified when it <br />becomes apparent that a more even distribution or alloceti on of sampling points would be <br />desirable, particularly if the reclamation block is split into a number of smell subunits. <br />Since the monitoring date is intended for evaluation of reclemati on methods end performance <br />of revegetated stands, end not for strict statistical analysis, this "allocation" method of <br />sample point selection is adequate. A sampling point is that location in the study area <br />or <br /> <br />[ <br />where the production cover measurements ere collected.
