Of particular concern in the <br />study was to identify groups of insects (i.e., grasshoppers) that might pose a <br />threat tq revegetation success. At five randomly selected locations in upland <br />sagebrush and grassland pasture, a sweep net sample consisting of five full <br />sweeps {appmri~nately 10 m2) was collected. Five sacrq~les also were taken from <br />a revegetation plot at Nucla mine.
