| Title | Modeling natural environmental gradients improves the accuracy and precision of diatom-based indicators for Idaho streams |
| Creator | Cao, Y. Hawkins, Charles P. Olson, J. R. Kosterman, M. A. |
| Description | . Diatom-based indicators can contribute significantly to comprehensive assessments of stream biological conditions. We used modeling to develop, evaluate, and compare 2 types of diatom-based indicators for Idaho streams: an observed/expected (O/E) ratio of taxon loss derived from a model similar to the River InVertebrate Prediction And Classification System (RIVPACS) and a multimetric index (MMI). Modeling the effects of natural environmental gradients on assemblage composition is a key... |
