Cover <br />' Mean vegetation cover values for both the reclaimed and reference areas are summarized in <br />Table 1. Data summaries for each area are provided in Tables 6A and 7A in the data Appendix. <br />The raw data for each transect is found in Table 6B and 7B. <br />' Total vegetative cover on the reclaimed and reference areas was 38.7 percent and 49.7 percent, <br />' respectively. Bare soil accounted for 26.3 percent of the absolute cover on the reclaimed area <br />and 20.0 percent on the reference area. Litter comprised 35.0 percent and 24.1 percent of the <br />reclaimed and reference areas, respectively. <br />' The reclaimed area had a higher species diversity, with ten species detected, than did the <br />reference area, where only six species were sampled. However, no shrub species were sampled <br />' in the reclaimed area, although some sagebrush were noted upon visual inspection of the area. <br />TABLE 1 <br />' Summary of Sample Adequacy Calculations <br />Canadian Strip Mine - 1992 Point-intercept Transects <br />Computed <br />Mean Vegetation Standard Actual Adequate <br />Area Cover (Percent) Deviation Sample Size Sample Size <br />1 Reclaimed Area IV 38.7 6.50 10 9.5 <br />----- ------ --------- <br />' Reference Area 49.7 5.27 10 3.8 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />Vrgetarian Sampling For /992 <br />The composition of plant species in each area was evaluated using data acquired from the point- <br />intercept transects.
