west of the known populations in the Little Belt 

 Mountains, in Douglas fir forest not underlain by 

 calcareous parent material should be completed, 

 along with surveying sites with calcareous parent 

 materials. 



Establish monitoring studies to assess population 

 condition and status . Monitoring studies should 

 be established at several locations to better 

 determine population dynamics, life history, and 

 the effects of habitat alteration on Goodyera 

 repens . A modification of methods as outlined in 

 Lesica (1987) would be suitable for monitoring 

 these populations and could be combined with other 

 techniques. An ECODATA plot was established at 

 Sandpoint Creek (001) as a baseline for nearby 

 plots established in a recent burn. Some data are 

 available for G. repens from this plot, but the 

 information only relates to stem number present 

 from year to year.
