■"•A single column item listed for a test number represents a constant, 

 multiple items, the test variables. 



Some of the wildlife species that browsed and foraged on test seedlings have been 

 tentatively identified as : 



Rocky Mountain mule deeT--Odoooileus hemionus hemionus 



Rocky Mountain elk- -Cervus canadensis nelsoni 



Snowshoe hare- -Lepus amevioanus 



Northern pocket gopher --Thomomys talpoides 



Porcupine- -Erithison dorsatum 



Harvesting limitations dictated patch cuts of one to several acres. Logging gener- 

 ally took place the year before the study areas were planted. All planting was done by 

 hand with a shovel using 2-0 nursery stock from the Lucky Peak Forest Service nursery 

 near Boise.
