Description only | Diversity composition between different sampling methods | Develop methods for monitoring macroinvertebrates and diatoms in small, sensitive, headwater streams on Mount Mansfield; comparison of biotic communities above and below the ski area in streams of Mt. Mansfield, and examine diatoms in streams as biological indicators. | This project intended to (1) Develop a low-impact method for sampling subalpine streams; 2) Explore diatoms as biological indicators in 3 streams and 3) Compare macroinvertebrate communnity composition above and below a ski area. | 1999-08-01 to 2003-03-15 |
