<br />bluegrass and Orchardgrass appeared to be codominant species, <br />' with Smooth brome, Western wheatgrass, and Yellow sweetclover <br />being of lesser importance. <br />Table 5 lists the cover values calculated from combining <br />' all transects together. Perennial grasses, perennial forbs, <br />and shrubs contributed 24.5, 19.1, and 2.1 % absolute cover <br />' respectively. Annual and noxious plant species combined for <br />0.6 % absolute and 1.2 % relative cover. <br />CONCLUSIONS ----------------------------------------------- <br />The Refuse area is in year 5 of reclamation. The rest of <br />the mine site is in year 4. Average vegetative cover of 46.2 <br />over the whole site indicates healthy revegetetion, <br />i ' especially considering that 98.9 % of that cover is attributed <br />to perennial, non-noxious plant species. Shrub have <br />' established well except at the Refuse area and the Number 1 <br />Mine New Fan site. <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br />r <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
