| Title | Development of a RIVPACS-type predictive model for bioassessment of wadeable streams in Wyoming |
| Creator | G., Hargett E. Zumberge, J. R. Hawkins, Charles P. Olson, J. R. |
| Description | RIVPACS models produce a community-level measure of biological condition known as O/E, which is derived from a comparison of the observed (O) biota with those expected (E) to occur in the absence of anthropogenic stress. We used benthic macroinvertebrate and environmental data collected at 925 stream monitoring stations, from 1993 to 2001, to develop, validate, and apply a RIVPACS model to assess the biological condition of wadeable streams in Wyoming. From this dataset, 296 samples were... |
