:~`~ <br />- ~. <br />-. <br />The herbaceous production summary for mountain shrub in the reference <br />area is shown in Table 3. <br />Similarity of Pre-Mine and Reference Areas <br /> <br />In order to document the amount of similarity between pre-mine and <br />reference areas, the lowest tabular t value for the 80 percent level, <br />the infinity figure of 1.282, was used. This value is the smallest <br />tabular t value and represents the most conservative figure available. <br />The calculated t value for herbaceous cover between the pre-mine and <br />reference area was found to be 0.536: Since this value is considerably <br />smaller than the smallest tabular t value. one must conclude that the <br />herbaceous cover .values for the pre-mine and reference are equal. <br />The calculated t value for shrub density for the pre-mine and reference <br />area mountain shrub type was calculated to be 1.254. Since this value <br />is smaller than the tabular value of 1.282, one must also conclude that <br />the shrub densities for the pre-mine and reference areas in the mountain <br />shrub type are equal. <br />The herbaceous production calculated t value for the pre-mine and <br />reference areas was found to be 1.22. Since this value is lower than <br />the tabular t value, one must conclude that herbaceous production between <br />the mountain shrub pre-mine and reference area sites are equal. <br />The. diversity index summary for mountain shrub vegetation type in both <br />the pre-mine area and the reference area is shown in Table 4. <br /> <br />6 ~, <br />A ~ ~ wc. <br />_._... ._ <br />
