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