Shrub establishment demonstration plots at Seneca II mine. <br />Results from the vegetation sampling indicate that the seeding operation at Trapper Mine <br />was not successful. Most of the vegetative cover in demonstration plots at Trapper was <br />attributed to Russian thistle (Table I), an annual invasive species. No shrubs were found in the <br />shrub density and height surveys. However, a few widely scattered shrub seedlings were <br />observed in the plots. Dry conditions after the spring 2001 seeding operation may have <br />contributed to the lack of success. A recommendation was made to Trapper personnel to reseed <br />the plots in the autumn of 2001. <br />Preliminary results from Colowyo mine indicate that the autumn 2000 seeding operation <br />was successful as most of the seeded species were present on the plots (Table 1).
