متن کاملAn Evaluation of Fecal Coliform Bacteria Concentrations Up- and Downstream of the Irwin Creek and Sugar Creek Wastewater Treat- ment Plants in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, 1998-2001
Fecal coliform bacteria cause water quality problems for many urban areas across the United States. The objective of this study is to determine if the Irwin Creek and Sugar Creek wastewater treatment plants, located near Charlotte in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, contribute significantly to the fecal coliform concentrations in the creeks. Fecal coliform densities in the wastewater effluen...
متن کاملEvaluating subsampling approaches and macroinvertebrate taxonomic resolution for wetland bioassessment
Methods for wetland bioassessment using macroinvertebrates are not well developed. Two of the most controversial issues in stream bioassessment, subsampling and taxonomic resolution, have yet to be quantitatively addressed for wetlands. Using a multivariate approach, we evaluated the efficacy of family-, genus-, and species-level assemblage data in reflecting the environment and distinguishing ...
متن کاملTrout use of woody debris and habitat in Wine Spring Creek, North Carolina
Wine-Spring Creek basin, in the mountains of North Carolina’s Nantahala National Forest, is an ecosystem management demonstration site, iu which ecological concepts for management and restoration are tested. Large woody debris (LWD) is an important link between streams and the adjacent riparian forest, but evidence for the connection between LWD and trout in southern Appalachian streams is limi...
متن کاملSpatial and Temporal Variability of Macroinvertebrate Assemblages in Boreal Streams: Implications for Conservation and Bioassessment
In this thesis, I studied spatial and temporal variability of macroinvertebrate assemblages of boreal streams. The main objectives were (i) to characterize macroinvertebrate assemblage types across large geographical extents, and to assess the utility of assemblage types and landscape and stream type classifications as the basis of stream bioassessment and conservation programs (ii, iii). I als...
