* Code = Selenge River Project (SRP) followed by two digits for year, two digits for month and two digits for day and two digits for site number sequence for that day. Grazing Codes (estimated from field notes for riparian zone): 0=no grazing evident; 1=slight grazing; 2=moderate grazing; 3=heavy/mixed grazing; 4=heavy grazing. *Erosion Codes (estimated from field notes for riparian zone): 0=no erosion evident; 1=slight erosion; 2=moderate erosion; 3=heavy/mixed erosion; 4=heavy erosion.
