ft. 123 from start pin to short, 

 triple-stemmed Douglas-fir; 14° to 

 highest timbered knoll across valley to 

 the northeast; 24 0° to limber pine ca. 4 

 m from start pin; start pin is at a 

 bearing of 60° from top of knoll to the 

 west. 



Transect line bearing: 31° 



Slope: 18° 



Aspect: 106° 



Direction: Transect read from west to 

 east, on uphill side of tape. 



b. METHODS: The three permanent belt 



transects were established on 27-28 July 

 1989, following the methods outlined in 

 Lesica (1987) . The two French Creek 

 transects consist of 25 adjacent 1 m^ 

 plots, and the Badger Pass North 

 transect consists of 50 such plots. The 

 start and end points of each transect 

 were marked with steel rebar pins driven 

 into the ground, and painted orange. 

 Individuals were mapped on diagrams of 

 each plot, and characterized using the 

 following codes: 



S = seedling (cotyledons evident, 

 or rosette less than 15 mm 

 diameter) 



R = rosettes (basal tufts of 

 leaves, on mature plants) 



I = inflorescences (flowering 

 stems) 



F = fruits 



A = aborted flowers (no apparent 

 formation of fruits) 



The total number per plant for each life 

 history characteristic was also recorded 

 (except for seedlings) ; thus, a plant 

 with 5 basal rosettes, 2 inflorescences, 

 17 fruits, and 25 aborted flowers was 

 recorded as R5l2F,7A25. At the Badger 

 Pass North site, four individuals were 

 recorded as "C" (established immature 

 plants, with 4 or fewer leaves) ;
