Save Our Streams Multimetric Index.pdfThis Save Our Streams calculation sheet shows the analysis of types of macroinvertebrates in relation to stream health, with my stream being in the low-medium end of acceptable conditions.
Reflection:
What this set of calculations shows represents what I've seen out in the field. A healthy, bustling stream environment with optimal conditions for colonization is apparent and highly relaxing for cairn building. I was glad for the amount of time given for this activity as it proved highly useful in collecting meaningful data sets and still enjoy my time in nature.
Friends and Carin Meditation Pics!
