| Title | Linking land use, in-stream stressors, and biological condition of streams to infer causes of regional ecological impairment in streams |
| Creator | Olsen, J. R. Hawkins, Charles P. |
| Description | We used field-derived data from streams in Nevada, USA, to quantify relationships between stream biological condition, in-stream stressors, and potential sources of stress (land use). We used 2 freshwater macroinvertebrate-based indices to measure biological condition: a multimetric index (MMI) and an observed to expected (O/E) index of taxonomic completeness. We considered 4 categories of potential stressors: dissolved metals, total dissolved solids, nutrients, and flow alteration. For... |
