Watershed Health Monitoring: Riparian Cover using X DensioBank
This is a list of random sites sampled by the Department of Ecology's Watershed Health Monitoring Program during 2009-2016. It includes data for riparian cover as measured with a densiometer at the bankfull margins and the amount of stream network represented by the random site. Densiometer data are assigned ratings of riparian condition relative to reference conditions.
Columns
| Name | Socrata field name | Column name in sgr mount | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PCTkm_perSurvey | pctkm_persurvey | pctkm_persurvey | Number | Percentage of streams in the survey network that the site represents. For each survey, this is the site's adjusted spatial weight, divided by the sum of all adjusted spatial weights in the survey x 100. |
| ECOREG3_NM | ecoreg3_nm | ecoreg3_nm | Text | Level III ecorgion name as described in the Washington Master Sample: https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/gispublic/DataDownload/EAP_ENV_MasterSample.htm |
| SALMON_RR | salmon_rr | salmon_rr | Text | Salmon Recevery Region, as described in the Washington Master Sample: https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/gispublic/DataDownload/EAP_ENV_MasterSample.htm |
| STREAM | stream | stream | Text | Description of the stream in which the site resides, based on nearest geographic identifier on the map in the Watershed Health Monitoirng Database: https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/eimreporting/WHM/WHMSearch.aspx |
| Region_Round | region_round | region_round | Text | Status and Trends Region and survey round (round 1 = 2009-2012; round 2 = 2013-2019) |
| Scoring Region | scoring_region | scoring_region | Text | Region in which random sites are compared to reference sites, to evaluate riparian cover condition. West includes 3 Status and Trends Regions west of Cascade Ridge; East Plateau is Columbia Plateau Ecoregion; East Mountain is remainder |
| year | year | year | Number | Year of observatiion |
| AVG X DensioBank (%) | avg_x_densiobank | avg_x_densiobank | Number | This is the average per year (1 or 2 observations) of X DensioBank values. Calculation of X DensionBank is described in the Metric Dictionary: https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/publications/SummaryPages/1303033.html |
| X DenioBank Category | x_deniobank_category | x_deniobank_category | Text | Condition class of AVG X DensioBank (%) when compared to reference conditions during 2009-2017. "Fair" for West is > 83.4 to 93.2% ; for East Moutains is > 72.4 to 87.8% ; for East Plateau is > 70.2 to 82.8% |
| SITE_ID | site_id | site_id | Text | Unique site identifier as provided by the Washington Master Sample: https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/gispublic/DataDownload/EAP_ENV_MasterSample.htm |
| ASWeight.km | asweight_km | asweight_km | Number | Adjusted Spatial Weights (kilometers) is the length of sample frame stream represented by the ranom site |
| Status and Trends Region | status_and_trends_region | status_and_trends_region | Text | Watershed Health Monitoring region, based on SALMON_RR and modified as described in Publication No1 8-03-226 section 3.23.https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/publications/documents/1803226.pdf |
