<br />1 for 35.94 g/m2 and 13.5`Yo of total production, while all perennial grasses accounted <br />for 19.0% of total production. Chorispora tenet/a represented 90.64 g/mz total <br />' production. Six annual forbs (including Chorispora tenella) produced 102.38 g/mz to <br />represent 38.6% of the total herbaceous production. Table 22 contains herbaceous <br />production results for this treatment. <br />Woody Plant Density and Dimensions <br />' Atriplex confertifolia was the only woody plant species represented on this plot. Four <br />individuals were counted for a density of 58/acre. The largest woody plant was an <br />' Atriplex confertifolia individual measuring 49 cm high and 84 cm in diameter. This <br />was the smallest woody plant overall in the maximum dimension category in the test <br />plots. <br />species Diversity <br />' Four lifeforms were represented on this treatment plot. Perennial and annual grasses <br />were represented by three and one species respectively, biennial forbs had one species, <br />and annual forbs had five species. Of these lifeforms, those representing greater than <br />three percent relative cover included perennial grasses (two species), annual grasses <br />(one species), and annual forbs (one species). <br />3.5 North Area <br />' Cover <br />' Vegetation cover accounted for 34.8% in this area. Graminoid species accounted for <br />28.4% mean cover, while forbs were represented by 6.43'o mean cover. No woody <br />species were encountered in the North Area cover sampling. Cryptogams accounted <br />for 0.4% ground cover. Litter provided 24.4% total cover, rock 0.8% ground cover, <br />and bare ground 39.6%. Cover results for the North Area are found in Table 23. <br />Four grass species were encountered in the North Area cover sampling. Bromus <br />japonicas/tectorumdominated with 20.8% mean cover (56.5% relative cover). <br />Agropyron cristatum was second in dominance, and comprised 6.4% mean cover and <br />22.3% relative cover. Agropyron smithii accounted for 0.84'o mean cover (2.2% <br />relative cover) while Elymus junceus comprised 0.4% mean cover and 1.1 % relative <br />cover. Forbs were represented by two species, Dt:scurainia Sophia and Chorispora <br />tenella with 3.6% mean cover (9.8% relative cover) and 2.8% mean cover (8.2% <br />relative cover) respectively. <br />1 <br />' 41 <br />
