Sample starting points were <br />' l <br />cated <br />a <br />a <br />do <br />- <br />t <br />tifi <br />d d <br />a <br />r <br />l <br />at <br />d in th <br />i <br />d <br /> o <br />on <br />n <br />m <br />s <br />ra <br />es <br />gn <br />n <br />we <br />e <br />oc <br />e <br />r <br />e <br />e <br />' field through the use of compass and pacing. The approximate <br /> locations of sample points are designated on the enclosed map. <br />' Cover and woody plant density transects originated from marked <br /> sample locations. The location of production plots are also <br /> noted. Production plot numbers do not correspond directly to <br /> cover sample point numbers. <br /> <br /> In accordance with the approved permit (see page 113ii), <br />' a minimum of 5 samples were collected in the two areas. <br /> Through discussion with the Division, a maximum sample number <br />' f 15 <br />d <br />th <br />f <br />f thi <br />it <br />i <br /> o <br />was agree <br />upon <br />or <br />e purposes o <br />s mon <br />or <br />ng <br />' program. Therefore, cover, production, and woody stem density <br /> samples were collected in each area until sample adequacy was <br />' reached or to a maximum of 15 samples, whichever was less. <br />' Total Vegetative Cover: <br />Total vegetative cover was sampled using an optical point <br />2 <br />1 <br />
