| Title | Measuring and controlling data quality in biological assemblage surveys with special reference to stream benthic macroinvertebrates |
| Creator | Cao, Y. Hawkins, Charles P. Vinson, M. R. |
| Description | 1. Biological assemblage surveys primarily aim to characterise species composition and relative abundance at one or more spatial or temporal scales. Data interpretation and conclusions are dependent on how well samples characterise the assemblage of interest. 2. Conventional measures of data quality, e.g. standard deviations or coefficients of variation, were designed for single variable estimation, and they are either insufficient or invalid for assessing the quality of data describing... |
