Shrub density in reclaimed areas was measured within 2 x 50 m <br />uadrats 1 "belt t <br />i <br />l <br />t <br />") <br />t <br />d <br />h <br />h <br /> q <br />ransec <br />or <br />en <br />s <br />e <br />a <br />ong t <br />e cover transect (w <br />ere a cover sample was also <br /> taken). Shrub density sampling intensity in the reclaimed areas was greater than cover <br /> sampling, so that in addition to the twenty 120) shrub density samples taken along the cover <br /> transects, up to thirty 130) more were located independently, making a total of as many as <br /> fifty 150) such samples in reclaimed areas. Additional shrub density plots were located <br /> randomly as previously discussed. In the two reference areas, equal numbers of cover and <br /> shrub density samples (15) were taken in each. A total of 20 samples were required in the <br /> Native Study Area to reach sample adequacy. Total number of shrub density transects in each <br /> area was as follows: <br /> Reclaimed Area Number of Transects <br /> 1983 Wadge 50 <br /> 1983 Wolf Creek 50 <br /> 1986 Wadge 20 <br /> 1986 Wadge (Fall Seeding) 15 <br /> 1986 Wadge (Spring Seeding) 15 <br /> 1986 Wolf Creek 30 - <br />• 1988 Wadge 20 <br />19 <br /> 88 Wolf Creek 20 <br />3 <br />
