| Restoring Life in Running Waters: Better Biological Monitoring | ||
| Author | James R. Karr and Ellen W. Chu | |
| Pub Year | 1998 | |
| Notes | 200 pages with tables, figures, and index. Restoring Life in Running Waters discusses freshwater ecosystems in the United States & the need for using biology to understand their present condition. The book makes a case for using indexes that integrate measurements of many biological attributes to assess & communicate environmental health. In a unique & innovative format, the authors present 37 premises & 7 myths that explore the theory & practice of biological monitoring & the use of multimetric indexes. They provide practical & effective tools for managers & scientsts seeking to understand the impact of human activities on natural systems & to determine proper action to remedy problems. | |

| Taxonomic Laboratory Protocol for Stream Macroinvertebrates Collected by the Washington State Department of Ecology | ||
| Author | R.W. Plotnikoff and J.S. White | |
| Pub Year | 1996 | |
| Notes |
The Washington Department of Ecology's aquatic invertebrate biological assessment program and other related monitoring programs in the agency consist of several components: field collection, sample processing, organism identification, data storage/analysis, and interpretation of results. Protocols that standardize methods for each component help assure consistent and comparable results between projects. The taxonomic laboratory protocol provides guidance for consistent aquatic macroinvertebrate (invertebrate) identifications. Consistency between taxonomists and between projects enhances comparability of taxonomic effort.

| Using Invertebrates to Assess the Quality of Washington Streams and to Describe Biological Expectations | ||
| Author | R.W. Plotnikoff and S.I. Ehinger | |
| Pub Year | 1997 | |
| Notes |
An ongoing survey of streams in Washington State has been based on collection and analysis of the macroinvertebrate assemblage. A hypothesis-testing approach was used to define a hierarchical framework that would identify: biological regions, important environmental variables and indicator assemblages. Classification analysis was used to define geographic regions that were biologically similar across the Washington landscape and physicochemical variables associated with regions. Eight hypotheses were proposed in order to determine distinctions among landscape, reach and site-specific biological conditions. Data collected from most areas of the state indicated three emergent biological regions: western Cascades and lowlands (Puget Sound and Coast Range), interior plateau and eastern Cascades (Columbia Plateau and east Cascades), and northeastern interior mountains (Northern Rockies). Two of the biological regions were further divided into distinct groups and appeared to be distinguished by local geology, topography, climate and anthropogenic impacts. Five environmental variables were characteristic of site conditions within clusters: water temperature, pH, conductivity, gradient, and elevation. Biological regions and environmental variables are the basis for categorizing streams across the Washington landscape. Taxa assemblages were found to be strongly associated with some of the stream conditions in the regions. Verification of the proposed expected biological conditions for each region/stream type combination will be based on future surveys.
