Near Hwy and gers. Heavy grazing in and around pools.
Van broke down so we stopped near only available water to collect. |
Hummocks yak pools, heavy organic load. Windy, collected
midges on lea side of hummocks stopped here to fix van. |
Noted on SPR04070803 that "SPR04070802 was at a
pond ~10 km W of khijirt; only Andrew sampled. GPS coordinates same
as at top of column. |
|
Note on 04071601: "SPR04071601 ponds near Davaa.
Only Joh, Wasa, Andrew collected." |
|
Heavily grazed area - pond and river with hoofmarks
and feces. Bank destabilization present. Regarding erosion in stream
channel: big sand blowouts or slides above channel and ponds. |
