Freshwater water quality and benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) communities are indicators of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem health; consequently, they were chosen to be “Vital Signs” in the National Park Service’s Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network (ERMN). The ERMN sampled core water quality parameters (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and specific conductance) and BMI communities at 81 stream reaches throughout the network from 2008–2013 while the ERMN was developing a protocol to implement long-term ecological monitoring of wadeable streams.
