<br />included in the association name. The lFtree most prominent species of each stratum are listed in <br />order of relative prominence: the most prominent species first, the next most prominent second, <br />and the next most prominent species third. Stratum layers are separated by a forward slash (n <br />' and dominant species in the same layer are separated by hyphens (-) <br />' In addition to vegetation associations, large, individual cottonwood trees that occur in vegetation <br />associations that do not include a tree stratum description have been identified. While these <br />individuals are not considered to be a significant component of the overall association they <br />occur within, they are visually prominent, and are considered to be important wildlife habitat <br />' features. <br />t RESULTS and DISCUSSION <br />' Field work was performed from August 1998 through November 1998. Wetland vegetation <br />associations were identified as part of the wetland delineation performed at the site by <br />WestWater Engineering. The delineation was performed in accordance with the Army Corps of <br />' Engineers (COE) 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual, and has been confirmed by the COG. <br />' The vegetation association were mapped on the basis of on site investigations and interpretation <br />of a~:rial photographs (Figure 2). The aerial extent of the vegetation associations recognized at <br />' the site are shown on the attached drawing, Sheet 1 of 1. <br />' A total of ]5 vegetation associations have been recognized at the Soazing Eagle site. These are: <br /> 1. Agricultural (pasture) <br /> 2. Cattails <br />' 3. Cottonwood/Russian Olive-Tamarix <br /> 4. Hardstem Bulrush-Creeping Spike Rush <br />' S. Rabbitbrush/ Alkali Mutely- Saltgrass <br />6. Rabbitbrush-Skunkbush-Tamarix/Saltgrass <br />' 7. Rabbitbrush-Skunkbush <br /> <br />
