First hit relative vegetation cover was calculated by dividing first hit <br />absolute cover for each species by the total first hit vegetation cover. All-layer absolute cover <br />was calculated by dividing all hits for a particular species by the total number of points taken <br />(50). In addition, all-layer relative cover was calculated using all hits for a particular species <br />divided by the total hits accumulated during sampling of the transect. <br />Production Samolina <br />Production sampling was done in all reclamation areas (except 1990 Wadge and 1990 Wolf <br />Creek areas), and the lwo reference areas. Herbaceous production sampling was accomplished <br />using one-half square meter (0.5 m2) circular quadrats within which all herbaceous growth in <br />• a vertical projection was removed by clipping, and placed in labeled paper bags. Alfalfa <br />(Medicaao saliva), when it occurred, was placed in separate labeled bags. <br />Production samples within each reclaimed area or reference area were numbered as follows <br />Reclaimed Area Number of 0.5 sa. m.
