_ • • , .< <br />COMMENTS <br />The reclamation at the site appears to be very successful. The <br />areas seeded in 1984 have a variety of perennial grasses and few weedy <br />species. Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) plants are very numerous <br />in Lhe 1989 area and over time, this species will probably become the <br />dominant species on the site. <br />The 1988 area is in only its first growing aeason. The presence <br />of weedy species is very common on sites during the first growing <br />season, so it is not surprising to see annual fortis occurring as <br />dominant species. The seeding was very successful, and perennial <br />grasses already provide quite a bit of cover. <br />Unless the site experiences severe drought conditions in the next <br />year or two, it is likely that increases in cover by the perennial <br />grasses and by big sagebrush can be expected. <br /> <br />
