• average by about 1 inch. With regard to temperature, cumulative January through June 2010 <br />warmth was well below average, the fourth coldest recorded in the past 25 years (Figure 5). <br />Woody Plant Density Area Data <br />Average woody plant density values ranged from 0 stems per acre (Block C2) to 5220.5 stems <br />per acre (Block W), but on average the woody plant density values were below 90% of the current <br />shrub density standard (1800 stems per acre). The Woody Plant Density areas at the Seneca IIW <br />mine currently total -71 acres. A total of 10 of the woody plant density area blocks surpassed the <br />standard of 1800 stems per acre and account for 34.2 percent (-24 acres) of all Woody Plant <br />Density areas. A total of 18 of the woody plant density area blocks are well on their way to <br />meeting the standard - surpassing 1000 stems per acre and accounting for 64.7 percent (--46 <br />acres) of all Woody Plant Density areas. However, the remaining blocks average only 352 stems <br />per acre. No data were collected at Woody Plant Density Block I in 2010. This block was removed <br />from the Woody Plant Density areas after 2006 sampling due to lack of shrubs. <br />Between 2008 and 2010, Woody Plant Density averaged a 77 percent increase versus an <br />• average increase in Woody Plant Density of 98 percent 2006/2007 to 2010. These increases <br />were mostly in the form of big sagebrush and mountain snowberry (Symphoricarpos <br />rotundifolius). <br /> <br />3
