spectral_id
Label:
Spectral ID
Definition:
Identifiers associated with spectral measurements. Format is generally = site_id + plot (if applicable) + date + mat_id + moisture_content + the number of the field spectrometer measurement. Other label information sometimes appears between the stream name or plot number and date, which indicates the type of measurement collected (opp = opportunistic or all measurements of 100% of the mat or moss type being measured, ring = ring measurement).
