Status and trends in stream hydromorphology metrics across the Chesapeake Bay watershed
Description
The assessment of different aspects of hydromorphic conditions through time and space may assist in explaining the various stressors contributing to stream condition such as habitat alteration. This dataset provides results for status and trends of hydromorphology (the interplay of geomorphology, hydraulics, and physical habitat) of streams and rivers in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. These two separate analyses for status and trends in hydromorphology are derived from: analysis of field-based rapid habitat metrics collected by multiple jurisdictions during habitat surveys; and specific gage analyses using data collected during routine streamflow measurements at USGS streamgages. Results from the rapid habitat and stream gage status and trend analyses are provided below in the two respective Child Items. Detailed data preparation information, analytical methods and results are presented and discussed in the associated Scientific Investigative Report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20255072).
