Analysis of status values from 2015-2017 for six indicators of river and stream condition in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
This dataset provides analysis results for status values representing the period of 2015 through 2017 for six indicators of river and stream condition in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Status (condition at a point in time) was calculated yearly for metrics of the following indicators: stream nutrients and suspended sediment, salinity, temperature, hydromorphology, streamflow and biological assemblages. These yearly status values were then averaged to create mean status values for each indicator and metric. The mean status values were then used to score indicator sites as high quality, low quality, or intermediate quality. Additionally, the relationship between mean status values and three land use/land cover types (developed, agriculture and urban) were analyzed via simple linear regression. Detailed data preparation information, analytical methods and results are presented and discussed in the associated Scientific Investigative Report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20255072).
