Sampling for production and cover was done in June 2007 by BIO -Logic Environmental, Steve <br />Boyle, Principal Investigator. For production, all currentyear above - ground vegetation was clipped <br />in a randomly - placed 0.25 -m sample frame. Sampling was terminated without reaching sample <br />adequacy after 44 sample observations (mean of desirable vegetation = 2.512. 5 lb/acre, <br />standard deviation = 1,726.3, estimated number of samples for adequacy = 80). The following <br />table shows mean production estimates for plant life forms. <br />Perennial Grasses <br />Perennial Forbs <br />Desirable Plant Production <br />lndesirable Annual Grass (Cheatgrass) <br />lndesirable Annual Forbs (non- native annual weeds) <br />doxious Weeds <br />- otal Undesirable Plant Production <br />2,436.1 <br />0 <br />1.1 <br />153.2 <br />Cover was sampled using a laser pointframe on randomly - placed 100 -foot transects, making 10 <br />first -hit cover observations perpendicular to the transect at each 10 -foot interval on the transect. <br />Sampling was terminated after 15 sample observations (mean cover of desirable plants = 68.6 %, <br />standard deviation = 23.2 %, estimated number of samples for adequacy = 21). The following table <br />shows estimates of mean absolute cover and relative cover (absolute cover as percentage of total <br />vegetation cover). <br />(Revised 1- 15 -03) Attachment 2.05.4(2)(e) -5 -3 <br />
