Revised Methods for Characterizing Stream Habitat in the National Water-Quality Assessment Program
Faith A. Fitzpatrick,Ian R. Waite,Patricia J. D'Arconte,Michael R. Meador,Molly A. Maupin,Martin E. Gurtz +5 more
TL;DR: Gilliom et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a spatially hierarchical framework that incorporates habitat data at basin, segment, reach, and microhabitat scales for stream habitat characterization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responses of benthic macroinvertebrates to environmental changes associated with urbanization in nine metropolitan areas
TL;DR: Responses of benthic macroinvertebrates along gradients of urban intensity were investigated in nine metropolitan areas across the United States, and threshold analysis showed little evidence for an initial period of resistance to urbanization.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of macroinvertebrate taxonomic resolution in large landscape bioassessments: an example from the Mid-Atlantic Highlands, U.S.A.
TL;DR: The results suggest that identification to the family level is sufficient for many bioassessment purposes, however, identifications to genus do provide more information in genera-rich families like Chironomidae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing strengths of geographic and nongeographic classifications of stream benthic macroinvertebrates in the Mid-Atlantic Highlands, USA
TL;DR: The US Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) sampled ∼500 wadeable streams in the Mid-Atlantic Highlands region of the US during the late spring of 1993 to 1995 for a variety of physical, chemical, and biological indicators of environmental condition as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations among Fish Assemblage Structure and Environmental Variables in Willamette Basin Streams, Oregon
Ian R. Waite,Kurt D. Carpenter +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, fish were collected from 24 selected stream sites in the Willamette Basin during 1993-1995 to determine the composition of the fish assemblages and their relation to the chemical and physical environment.
