Title Weak correspondence between landscape classifications and stream invertebrate assemblages: implications for bioassessments
Creator Hawkins, Charles P. Vinson, M. R.
Description We examined the ability of 5 a priori landscape classifications (3 sizes of catchments, ecoregions, and life zones) to partition observed variation in the composition of stream invertebrate assemblages. Analyses were based on 254 unimpaired sites from montane streams in California and 1912 sites from several regions of the United States. Estimates of classification strength (CS) were used to measure how well classifications partitioned variation in composition among sites. CS was measured as...
