Macroinvertabrate Assemblages of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area: An 11-year Study
Holt CR, Batzer DP, Pfitzer D, Scalley C, Caldwell BA, Capece PI. 2015. Macroinvertabrate Assemblages of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area: An 11-year Study. Proceedings of the 2015 Georgia Water Resources Conference. University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia
The Chattahoochee River is one of the most important waterways in Georgia. However, research on the macroinvertebrate diversity is lacking. Since 2001macroinvertebrates have been collected quarterly along a 65-km stretch of the Chattahoochee River below Buford Dam. In this paper, we present a complete taxa list of the study area including location and seasonality information for each taxon. Macroinvertebrate diversity studies of large rivers in the Georgia Piedmont are rare, and this long-term study contributes a signicant amount of data to this area of research.
