<br /> <br />species as the number per quadrat, the number per acre, and the number per <br />hectare. We will either achieve sample adequacy or take 50 samples Iquadrafsl. <br />Task 5. Data Analysis <br />Ms. Sandy Emrich of CMLR presented a method for determining species diversity <br />For reclamation areas at the Western Reclamation Group Workshop during the' <br />spring of 1982. We will use her method in determining a species diversify <br />standard. Her approach was to determine the number of species with a relative <br />cover of 3 percent or greater per life form. <br />All data will be analyied, summarized in tabular form, and presented and dis- <br />cussed in the report. ~• <br />~: <br />Task 6. Draft Reports <br />The draft report will be a comprehensive document that Includes individual <br />sample and summary data tables, plant species lists, a vegetation map, and text. <br />The text of the report will Include an introduction fha.t explains the objectives <br />of the vegetation program and relates the vegetation of the project site fo <br />regional environmental variables; a methods section which thoroughly docu- <br />ments all sample procedures; and a results and discussion section which pre- <br />sents the quantitative cover, production, and density data and provides an <br />•~Interpretive discussion of the ecology of each vegetation type with emphasis <br />on relationships to the regional environment. We will discuss the potential <br />or actual occurrence of threatened or endangered species IUSFS 1960, Colorado <br />Natural Heritage Inventory 19801 or other species of particular importance or <br />concern, such as noxious weeds Isee Thornton et al. 19741. We will calculate <br />plant species diversity for the site. <br />The vegetation map will be produced upon.a mylar topographlc,confour base. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />-3- <br />
