• Table 2. The aspen and serviceberry field layout for the landscape fabric and
irrigation study, in the two fenced areas at the IIW Mine. AF = aspen with landscape
fabric, SF = serviceberry with landscape fabric, A = aspen without landscape fabric, S =
serviceberry without landscape fabric. Each row has 12 plants that will be divided into
two parts, where one half of the row (6) will be irrigated and other half (6) will not be
irrigated. Block 4 is in fenced area 3, and Blocks 5 and 6 are in fenced area 4. Block 4 was
not measured in 2008 because of defoliation by grasshoppers early in the growing
season. Survival will be monitored from this plot in 2009. Numbering on Blocks 1 and 3
are in reverse order to allow rows 1 -8 to be aspen and rows 9 -16 to be serviceberry in
all blocks.

The study was designed to follow the physiology, growth, survival, and
establishment of the plants through at least three growing seasons of measurement
following planting to insure more than short-term survival and growth information.
Response of perennials to treatment is often not seen during the first of treatment.
However, funding was provided for only the first growing season of the study and this
initial report is only for the 2008 growing season. Survival was monitored in late May
2009 and data indicated that there was little change from late 2008, suggesting plants
surviving the 2008 growing season successfully survived the winter of 2008 -2009.
