2.5.3 FA003 <br />FA003 is comprised of 5.50 acres of moderately sloping revegetation/native that has a <br />predominately southeasterly aspect This unit was accidentally burned in the summer of 2002 and <br />seeded during the fall of 2002, and therefore, has undergone one growing seasons prior to sampling in <br />2003. A total of 32 plant taxa were observed in the unit (see Table 19). <br />Seedling emergence data (Tables 16 and 58) from 15 quadrats in FA003 revealed an average of <br />lperennial seedling per square foot. An average density of 0.60 was attributed to perennial grasses <br />while 0.27 seedlings per square foot were from perennial forts and 0.13 seedlings were attributed to <br />shrubs. Annual species, espedally cheatgrass and Russian thistle, contributed an average of 1.80 <br />seedlings per square foot. Woody plant density was determined from the 15 quadrats and totaled 5,663 <br />shrub seedlings per acre (Table 17) with rubber rabbitbrush the dominant woody plant. <br />Take by seeded grass speces is fair in most places and the burned Gambel oak and serviceberry are <br />resprouting well. There are no appreciable noxious weeds in the area. Because of scattered patches of <br />cheatgrass throughout the unit, spot use of the herbicide Oust or Plateau for control is recommended. <br />• <br />It <br />xen~eoon Fey co. i Cdowyo xrure Page 66 Revegetatbn MonnoA~ -2003 <br />
