ObsLocation
- Label:
- Definition: Location of the observer along the line in meters. 0 is at the start, 300 is typically the end (although end may be a slightly different number because of differences in how distance measured in GIS and using a GPS in the field. Also, the last segments of old transects typically substantially shorter than 300 m).
