• All numerical data are found in Tables 1-12 of Appendix 1. Summary data are <br />found in Tables 13-15. A summary of cover, production, and woody plant density <br />is in Table 13. Data on species density by lifefomt are summarized in Table 14. <br />A summary of relative cover by lifeform is in Table 15. Statistical adequacy of <br />sampling is tabulated in Table 16. A complete species list, including reclaimed <br />and reference areas, is in Appendix 2. Seed mixes used in the reclamation <br />areas are included, for reference, in Appendix 3. Photographs of representative <br />locations within the reclaimed areas sampled in 2005, as well as photographs of <br />the Aspen, Mountain Brush, and Sagebrush reference areas, are included in <br />Appendix 4. Graphic depictions of vegetation and climate data are presented in <br />Figures 1-10. . <br />In the cover tables, columns labeled "Average Cover" and "Relative Vegetation <br />Cover-All" include only data from first hits. "Frequency", "Average Cover-All", <br />• and "Relative Vegetation Cover-All" columns contain data from both first and <br />second hRs. In this section of the report, we will only discuss absolute cover for <br />all hits (from the "Average Cover-All" column), unless otherwise stated. <br />In the production tables, data are expressed as oven-dry pounds per acre <br />(Ibs/acre). These figures were extrapolated from the average weights for the 0.5 <br />square meter samples. For woody plant density, data collected in each 100 <br />square meter plot were extrapolated to estimate the number of individuals <br />expected per acre. <br />2001 Reclaimed Area <br />{Photographs 1-11) <br />COVER <br />(Table 1) <br />Native perennial cool season grasses had the highest average percent cover, <br />with 18.1 % out of the total 38.9% vegetation cover. The most common species <br />in this group were mountain brome (Ceratoch/oa carinata), slender wheatgrass <br />
