87% in the affected area and 90% in the control area. Percent vegetation, litter, <br />• and rock was 96% in both the affected and control areas. <br />In the affected area, shrubs had a relative cover value of 48%. Snowberry <br />(31%), Big Sagebrush (9%), and Silver Sagebrush (5%) were dominant. In the control <br />area, shrubs had a relative cover value of 46% with the major species being <br />Snowberry (27%) and Big Sagebrush (16°~(,). Graminoids made up 30% of the relative <br />cover in the affected area, and 27% in the control area. Agassiz Bluegrass was the <br />major species in both affected and control areas. Relative cover of the forbs was <br />22°h in the affected area and 27°h in the control area. <br />Mountain Shrub <br />Mountain Shrub cover data are presented in Tobles 2.4-17 and 2.4-18 for <br />affected and control areas, respectively. Percent vegetative cover was the some for <br />both areas (98%). Percent vegetation, litter, and rock was 98°~6 in the affected area <br />and 95% in The control area. Of the average 89% vegetative cover in the affected <br />area, shrubs mode up 45% of The relative cover. The major species were Mountain <br />Snowberry (23%), Gambel's Oak (9%), and common Shadbush (8%). Of the 89% <br />• vegetative cover value for the control area, the shrubs had a relative cover value of <br />40%. Snowberry, Shadbush, and Gambel's Oak were the dominant species with <br />relative cover values of 26%, 7%, and 5°h, respectively. Graminoids made up about <br />30% of the relative cover for both the affected and control areas. Relative cover <br />for forbs was 27% in the affected area and 30% in the control area, with American <br />Vetch as the dominant cover species in both areas. <br />Production Data <br />Table 2.4-19 presents a summary of Productivity Data for both affected and <br />control areas for each vegetation type. Control areas for Aspen Woodland and <br />Willow/Redtop were not established. <br />Aspen Woodland (Table 2.4-20) <br />Total annual production (gm/0.5 m2) for the Aspen Woodland vegetation type was <br />57. Of The 57 grams, shrubs and grasses had a relative biomass of about 40% each <br />. and forbs contributed a relative biomass of 20°.6. Timothy, Orchardgross, Poa spp., <br />Revised 7-81 2.4-6 <br />
