Site conditions were photographed in 35mm color slide format to further document <br />existing conditions in all community types within the study area. Special attention was given to <br />capturing trends of deterioration, as well as ecological impacts associated with adjacent land <br />uses. <br />Refinements were also made to the land cover types and ecological conditions within the <br />northwest and southwest quadrants; however, this was done by quick visual inspection and <br />minor walking surveys of the area, with no DGPS surveying conducted in these quadrants. <br />General recommendations for restoration and management needs were developed for <br />all natural communities described within the project area. <br />Results <br />Descriptions of vegetation types, ecological conditions, and recommendations for <br />restoration and management needs are discussed below for each quadrant of the Main <br />Street/Highway 35 intersection. <br />Northeast Quadrant <br />Three general vegetation zones occupy the northeastern quadrant: the treed southwest <br />corner with old -field openings, the large central open field featuring the scraped area with spoils <br />piles, and the open and forested wetlands complex to the northeast. <br />Treed southwest corner with old -field openings <br />A variable old -field vegetation type (3dc/2c1) occurs in the southwest most corner <br />nearest the intersection of Main Street and Highway 35. It is dominated by cool- season, non- <br />native grasses, dominated by smooth brome (Bromus inermis), with quack grass (Agropyron <br />repens) and blue grass (Poa pratensis) also present. In the same location there are half a <br />dozen large, 24 -30 inches in diameter at breast height (DBH), bur oaks (Quercus macrocarpa) <br />and two large American elms (Ulmus americana), 12 -20" DBH. The balance of the deciduous <br />trees include boxelder (Acer negundo), and Siberian elm (Ulmus pumila), and one 15" DBH <br />cottonwood (Populus deltoides). Conifer tree species (3e) adjacent to this area include 7 -8" ' <br />DBH red cedars (Juniperus virginiana). The ground cover beneath the conifer tree canopy <br />consists largely of smooth brome and blue grass. <br />The open field to the northeast of the comer labeled 2c1/6b consists of a ground cover <br />vegetation dominated by smooth brome. Patches of bush clover (Lespedeza sp.) and other dry <br />prairie species constitute the native dry prairie remnants occurring throughout the area.
