Herbaceous cover data was collected using a 10 point frame at each <br />of the five points along the transect. The first hit by each pin <br />on the herbaceous vegetation was then recorded by species. <br />Production samples were taken by clipping a 30cm x 60cm plot at <br />each of the same five points along the transect. The clipped <br />herbaceous vegetation was separated into grasses and forbs. There <br />were no measurable amounts of annuals sampled. The samples were <br />air dried then weighed. 60cm x 60cm plots were used for the 1988 <br />data and samples were oven dried prior to weighing. <br />Woody plant density data was obtained by recording the numbers of <br />woody plants along a three foot wide belt the entire 100 foot <br />length of each transect. <br />Species composition and cover for the initial 1980 data is shown in <br />Table 2, 1980 Herbaceous Cover by Species. The 1988 data is <br />summarized in Table 2A, 1988 Herbaceous Cover by Species. <br />Summaries of the data can be found on Table 3, Summary of <br />Herbaceous Cover. <br />Herbaceous productivity for the sagebrush, mountain shrub, and <br />aspen communities is shown on Table 4, Production Data Summary. <br />Information pertaining to statistical tests to be performed for <br />determination of revegetation success is contained in Section 4.15. <br /> <br />2.04.10-3 <br />
