| Notes |
downstream of bridge. Heavy grazing everywhere. Many
sheep, not many cattle or yaks, |
I was lumping sages and thyme in with grasses. I
will now count them as forbs. |
we collected water chemistry above and below the falls.
Above had a lot of volcanic rock in the river bed - not a very good
p&d. Below - volcanic rock and cobble in volcanic rock canyon
with trees. |
we collected water chemistry above and below the falls.
Above had a lot of volcanic rock in the river bed - not a very good
p&d. Below - volcanic rock and cobble in volcanic rock canyon
with trees. |
Most specimens in grassy area away from the banks in
hollows - out of wind. |
We camped along the main braid of the Urd Tamir Gol,
but there are 5 braids. We swept between braids and did 1 malais
trap of the main braid. Erin did her pick and dip along the main
braid, Chem too, but PBP was done along the next largest braid. Both
light traps were done along the main braid. Note: large chiro exuviae,
but no large adults (?) |
|
Site was upstream of 1402, but at main braid. |
Under channel characterization: Island - forest and
shrubs 80 and forbes 20 |
|
Black volcanic rock 5km from a volcano on a volcano
rock gorge. Much diatoms and floating filaments algae. Hoof marks
and banks eroding into stream. Very short grass, much grazing by
yaks and goats. Trash dump. Bank destabilization. |
|
Many small pools along the banks with some in the open
and some shaded with mosses. Stream is a nice cobble bottom
stream with excellent riffle, run, pool sequences. ~6 degree stream? |
New road being built (near/above our site). |
Erosion in stream channel: hoofmarks and bank destabilization.
Nice ~5-6 degree order river and nice riffle, run, pool, sequences.
Much Aufwucks on rocks and boulders. Some sardinareas and silt in
pools. Yaks and goat herds throughout and just 4 km below Ider. |
|
Highly grazed. |
Bank destabilization excessive. Cobble bottom with hight
(?) turbidity but there has been rain in recent past. |
