Thanks,
Bells Bridge #-2020-1664v2 MY1 RS
Credit release Request form has the project number 2020-1937v3 (Dead Tree Phase B)
instead of the correct project number 2020-1664v2
Average stem density of 425 stems per acre at MY1, reduced from 466 at MY0.
Seems like they are planting these sites with relatively low initial densities
26 out of 29 plots met density success criteria
The 3 transects requested by DWR located on the bank of features Ea and D had average
densities of 229 stems per acre. T1 and T2 both meet density requirements but only have 3
stems species present. T3 located along the North bank of Feature D has only 2 stems and is
dominated by extremely dense herbaceous vegetation
Plots 2, 11, 12, 13, 21, 24, and 28 fail to meet diversity requirements
Plots 12, 13, and 19 fail to meet density requirements
The front page of the credit release request from says “Supplemental planting summaries are
expected to be submitted jan/feb 2023, nut I do not see anything in LF nor any mention of
supplemental planting within the report.
No vigor data
No height data
