| DataCode | | Nominal | Data set Code |
| RecType | | Physical quantity | Record type |
| TransectID | | Physical quantity | autonumber field, unique value for each transect |
| TransectNumber | | Physical quantity | One number/watershed. First 16 numbers (transects initiated prior to 2010) were = TRANSNUM in CPB01 |
| SegmentID | | Nominal | Letters = a, b, c, d, or NA. For transects initiated from 2010 onward, these were randomly assigned to one of the 2 transect/watershed. For older transects, these were used to divide up the single, longer transect into ~300 m sections. |
| TransectName | | Nominal | Combination of TrasectNumber and SegmentID letter. This uniquely identifies a transect line |
| BrettTransectName | | Nominal | Name used for transects in PBG051 database. NA for transects not part of that study |
| YrEstablished | | Physical quantity | First year surveyed. Although 1-16 were established 1981, they were subdivided and run under the current naming system in 2017 or 2018. Most PBG transects initiated in 2011 but some locations changed in 2014. Highest numbered transects (i.e. TransectNumbers >23) initatied by WAB in 2017 or 2018 |
| CurrWatershed | | Nominal | Current watershed name |
| Grazed | | Nominal | TRUE for grazed, whether it be cattle or bison, or FALSE for ungrazed |
| GrazingType | | Nominal | bison, none, or cattle |
| FireReturnInterval | | Physical quantity | Current fire frequency (1, 2, 4, or 20 year returns on core KNZ treatment watersheds, 3 on patch-burn treatments) |
| TransectLength | | Physical quantity | straight line, in meters, from start to stop points as measured in GIS. Note, these do not always correspond directly to field-measured distances from GPS |
| StartLatitude | | Physical quantity | in decimal degrees, for transects 2011 and later |
| StartLongitude | | Physical quantity | in decimal degrees, for transects 2011 and later |
| EndLatitude | | Physical quantity | in decimal degrees, for transects 2011 and later |
| EndLongitude | | Physical quantity | in decimal degrees, for transects 2011 and later |
| Riparian | | Nominal | for the transects targeting Shane Creek and Kings Creek woodland. If FALSE, then site is/was a grassland site or a woody-encroached former grassland |
| Comments | | Nominal | Comments for the data |
