Native perennial cool season grasses were the <br />second most abundant group (15.6°~ cover), dominated by Agassiz bluegrass (7.1 °r6 <br />cover) and slender wheatgrass (3% cover). Native perennial forts were the third most <br />abundant tifeform (9.9°k cover), having numerous species with low percent cover values <br />and no dominant species. Tailcup lupine, American vetch (Vicia americans), and <br />Northern bedstraw (Galium septentrionale) had the highest percent cover values of this <br />group (2.0%, 1.7%, and 1.4°k, respectively). In general, this area was heavily vegetated, <br />with little bare ground or rock. <br />Total average vegetation cover, for first hits, was 65.4°k.
