Description
This EnviroAtlas dataset describes the native freshwater aquatic biodiversity by 12-digit HUC (subwatershed) for the conterminous United States. It includes amphibians, fish, mollusks, decapods, and turtles. The metrics are: total species richness; count of threatened and endangered species; a rarity index; and a native vulnerability index. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to the EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).
