Total numbers of shrub density transects in each area were as follows <br />Reclaimed Area Number of Transects <br />1983 Reclaimed Areas 2 0 <br />1987 Reclaimed Areas 20 <br />1990 Reclaimed Areas 20 <br />; 1992 Reclaimed Areas 2 5 <br />Wadge Pasture 5 0 ` <br />Mountain Brush Reference Area none <br />Sagebrush Reference Area none <br />Wadge Pasture shrub density was sampled with the 50 independent random samples noted as <br />i well as 57 additional samples done in association with atwo-stage sampling trial (see below). <br />it All shrubs, including seedlings, with root crowns found within the quadrat boundaries were <br />tabulated by species and by life stages as follows: Seedling, Mature, or Dead. <br />I <br />~~ Shrub Density Sampling Using Two-Stage Statistical Design in Wadge Pasture <br />For purposes of comparison of effort and results, the Wadge Pasture was separately sampled <br />i again for shrub density using a iwo-stage statistical design as set forth in Chapter 10 of <br />Cochran (1977). The Wadge Pasture was divided into 20 equal-sized primary sample units and <br />~ nineteen of these were randomly chosen to receive sampling. Within each of the chosen primary <br />i sample units three (3) points were chosen in the same fashion used for single stage sampling <br />described above. At each of these three sample points in each of the nineteen primary sample <br />units, 2mx50m quadrats were located and randomly oriented in the normial manner and shrubs <br />were tallied as described above. <br />Shrub Densif -Shrub Establishment Areas <br />In nineteen (19) areas shown on Map 1, areas of shrub nursery stock plating were sampled to <br />~ assess the survival of the plantings. Within these areas of various shapes, a prescribed number <br />of 2mx50m quadrats were systematically located (i.e. uniformly spaced) and all shrubs tallied <br />~, in the normal manner. <br />4 <br />• <br />C~ <br />~J <br />
