Vegetation <br /> Background: <br /> The goals of the vegetation monitoring were to determine the extent to which <br /> the desired plant communities have established on the site, and assess whether <br /> the vegetation survival has achieved the standard success criterion of 80% plant <br /> cover. <br /> In part to meet these monitoring goals, and in part to develop a meaningful <br /> vegetation monitoring methodology, a decision was made to use a relatively <br /> high level of monitoring intensity. Descriptive observations were made <br /> throughout the growing season of 1994. Quantitative vegetation sampling was <br /> conducted on July 5 -9, 1994. Dan Salzer, coordinator of research and <br /> monitoring for the Oregon Field Office of The Nature Conservancy, assisted <br /> with the process of identifying monitoring goals and selection of vegetation <br /> _.._ . a.- measurement techniques. A detailed description of this procehs, is-described in <br /> Appendix 1. <br /> Prior to beginning the sampling design, we determined that we wanted to <br /> document the following features: overall vegetative cover; dominance of native <br /> species vs. non - native species; dominance of tufted hairgrass (Deschampsia <br /> cespitosa, and overall composition and species diversity of the plant <br /> Page 8 <br />
