• if s[ least ac many woody species on the revegetated contribute <br />5Z or more of the total woody plant density as contributed 5X <br />or more of the total woody plant density on the premining <br />~ vegetation. <br />In addition to the data and discussions to be provided as outlined <br />above, other pertinent information such as expected successional trends, <br />dispersion of volunteer and Snvading species, reproduction and establtsh- <br />meat of new individuals, and evidence of plants of various age classes will <br />be presented as appropriate in the species diversity evaluation. <br />Although both qualitative and quantitative analysis will be conducted <br />during the evaluation of species diversity, the final decision on adequacy <br />of species diversity on the reclaimed area remains largely subjective. In <br />the event that alternate evaluation cirteria are developed in the future, <br />Perna Resource Corporation will have the option of amending the post-mining <br />species diversity evaluation accordingly. <br />LITERATURE CiTID <br />Larson, L.L. 1980.
