To find out the distribution patterns and the variation between the quadrates of the Sagebrush population (Artemisia tridentate), the quadrates was divided into six and the population was being counted in the radius of 10 meter for each quadrates. For the Dalmatian Toadflax (Linaria genistifolia) one meter radius was being used to count the population size for each quadrates. It is difficult to determine if the Sagebrush plant was growing under one root or a separate …

…of nutrients that are needed by the species and other areas do not contain any, thus distribution pattern might differ. Sagebrush plants usually require areas with deep soils, dry Big Sagebrush has clumped distribution according to the calculations (see Appendix A). Dalmatian Toadflax also appears to have a clumped distribution (see Appendix A). The graph below shows the average numbers of population of the Sagebrush and Dalmatian Toadflax. Each are measured in six different transects.
