Estimating Embeddedness From Bankfull Shear Velocity in Gravel Streambeds to Assess Sediment Impacts on Aquatic Biota
… 40,000 miles of streams in the U.S., degrading habitat quality for many aquatic species. Embeddedness (emb, %), a measure of fine sediment in gravel bed streams, is negatively correlated with bankfull shear velocity (u*, m/s). This relationship can be modeled by emb = au*b, with baseline …

Surface Water Quality and Aquatic Ecological Health in Central Appalachian Streams
… Index (VSCI) versus other water quality and habitat parameters as well as the effect of specific ion suites on VSCI score. Findings indicated that excellent habitat extends species resilience against elevated conductivity, with passing VSCI scores found at conductivity in the 600-800 µs/cm …

Using Remote Sensing Data to Predict Habitat Occupancy of Pine Savanna Bird Species
… has resulted in the loss of pine savanna habitats across the southeastern U.S., affecting many avian species dependent on these habitats. However, due to the ephemeral nature of the habitat requirements of many pine savanna species (e.g., habitat is only present for a couple of years after …

Correlation Between Bioassessments of Macroinvertebrates and Fishes and Natural Land Cover in Virginia Coastal Plain Watersheds
… scale, biotic indices measuring stream water and habitat quality would increase. Biotic integrity was measured through the scores from the Coastal Plain Macroinvertebrate Index (CPMI) for benthic macroinvertebrates and the VCU Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) for fishes. Using GIS, the percentage …
