B1 runs along the southeast border of the unit and is marked with aluminum tags <br />on metal boundary posts (B°i B45). Transects are perpendicular and located at 0, 15, 30, and 45 meters. B2 is also located along the <br />southeast border of the unit and is marked with aluminum tags on metal boundary posts (B°, B45). Transects aze perpendiculaz and <br />located at 0, 15, 30, and 45 meters. Endpoints of the tansects are marked with wooden stakes. <br />Herbaceous Cover: Grass = 3.9% coverage. Forb = 18.8% coverage. Canada Thistle is the dominant cover on this site. <br />Comments: Survival of Serviceberry, Chokecherry, and Gambel's Oak is generally excellent on the site. Wood's Rose and Mountain <br />Snowberry suffered substantial mortality. The reason for this is unclear. Browse damage was observed on 65% of the plants and can <br />be expected to increase mortality during the next yeaz. <br />13 <br />
