B. BADGER PASS MICROWAVE EXCLOSURE MONITORING TRANSECTS 



1. Transect 1: The starting pin for transect 1 is 

 located 3.58 m from RP3 (Fig. 1) on an azimuth of 

 10°. The transect runs for 10 m at 10° with the 1 

 m^ plots lying along the west side of the 

 baseline. An additional 1 m^ plot lies on the east 

 side of the baseline between meters 1 and 2. 



2. Transect 2: The starting pin for transect 2 is 

 13.8 m at 160° from the omnidata pod cover (Fig. 

 1) and is at the south end of the transect. The 

 transect runs at 340° for 5 m. The 1 m^ plots are 

 along the east side of the baseline. 



3. Transect 3: The starting pin for transect 3 is 2.8 

 m north of RP4 , a painted fence post along the 

 southwestern perimeter fence (Fig. 1) and is at 

 the south end of the transect. The transect runs 

 for 5 m at 350° along the edge of the trees 

 parallel to the fence, 



C. HORSE PRAIRIE MONITORING TRANSECT 



The Horse Prairie transect is located at the site of 

 the Montana Natural Heritage Program element occurrence 

 027 for Penstemon lemhiensis . The site is about h mile 

 southeast of the Horse Prairie Guard Station. The 

 transect is located on the north side of the road 

 between the second and third water bars as the road 

 goes up the hill. The transect runs parallel to the 

 road in a generally westerly direction and is 5 m long. 

 The 1 m^ plots are north (upslope) of the base line. 



III. MONITORING METHODS 



The transects were established on 1 August 1991 following 

 the methods of Lesica (1987). Individual plants were mapped 

 on diagrams of each 1 m^ plot and characterized by life 

 history feature as: 



S = seedling (cotyledons evident or rosette <15 mm in 

 diameter) 



R = rosettes (basal tufts of leaves on mature plants)
