Quadrates were protected by enclosures to prevent vegetation removal by grazers and browsers. Enclosures <br />relocated each growing season. Biomass production was measured using a double sampling procedure of estimates adjusted by actual values from <br />representative samples. Weight units are rams unless otherwise noted. <br />Six of twenty quadrates were estimated then clipped to derive an actual green weight correction factor used to adjust estimated green weights. <br />z The ratio between estimated and actual clipped green weights. <br />s Air d weight values were derived from the actual weight of oven-dried clipped samples for each species. <br />a Species composition values are based upon the percentage of total above round biomass production for all species. <br />5 Utilizing a NRCS & BLM standard conversion rate of grams to pounds per acre (gram weights from ten 9.6 sq. ft. quadrates converts directly to <br />ounds per acre). <br />TABLE A3 -Reclaimed Well Pad 1A-4Hl Ground Cover <br />September 2007 <br />;over Type Percent Cover <br />Grasses Scientific Name Common Name <br />AGDA A rop ron das stach um Thicks ike Wheat grass 7.8% <br />AGSP A ro ron s icata var. inermis Beardless Bluebunch Wheat grass 3.0% <br />BRTE Bromus tectorum Cheat grass 1.4% <br />ELCI El mus cinereus Basin Wild rye 3.0% <br />ELJU EI mus 'uncea Russian Wild rye 8.4% <br />ORHY Or o sis h menoides Indian Rice grass 2.3% <br /> Total Grasses 25.9% <br />Forbs <br />DESO Descurainia sophia Yellow Mustard 2.2% <br />KOSC Kochia sco aria Kochia Weed 6.3% <br />LILE Linum /ewisii Lewis Flax 1.2% <br />MESA Medics o sativa Alfalfa 2.0% <br />PEPA Penstemon palmeri Palmer's Penstemon 2.1% <br />SAKA Salsola kali Russian thistle 5.8% <br />Total Forbs 19.6% <br />Shrubs <br />ATCA Atri lex canescens Four-win Saltbush 8.5% <br />CHVI Chr sothamnus vicidif/orus Low Rabbitbrush 1.0% <br />Total Shrubs 9.5% <br /> Moss/Lichen 0.0% <br /> Vegetative Litter 4.0% <br /> Bare Ground 35.4% <br /> Rock 5.6% <br /> <br />TOTAL 100.0% <br />Data was collected September 7 & 8, 2007 utilizing ten 9.6 square foot quadrates.
