TransectNumber
  • Label:
  • Definition: One number/watershed. First 16 numbers (transects initiated prior to 2010) were = TRANSNUM in CPB01

SegmentID
  • Label:
  • Definition: Letters = a, b, c, d, or NA. For transects initiated from 2010 onward, these were randomly assigned to one of the 2 transect/watershed. For older transects, these were used to divide up the single, longer transect into ~300 m sections.

  • Definition: Name used for transects in PBG051 database. NA for transects not part of that study
  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified
YrEstablished
  • Label:
  • Definition: First year surveyed. Although 1-16 were established 1981, they were subdivided and run under the current naming system in 2017 or 2018. Most PBG transects initiated in 2011 but some locations changed in 2014. Highest numbered transects (i.e. TransectNumbers >23) initatied by WAB in 2017 or 2018
