SHEN Benthic Macroinvertebrate Monitoring SOP 19: Data Analysis, version 1.0
Wofford JE, Demarest ED, Voshell JR. 2018. SHEN Benthic Macroinvertebrate Monitoring SOP 19: Data Analysis, version 1.0
Adapted from Petersen et al (2008) and Dodd et al (2008). Annual data analyses and summaries will be completed for every year that monitoring is conducted at Shenandoah National Park. Summaries can include short reports or resource briefs. These summaries will provide visual displays of select metrics, potentially in the form of control charts (Figure 1). Annual summaries will not include formal analyses of trend or in-depth data reviews unless data suggests that more analyses are needed (i.e. control chart thresholds are crossed). Comprehensive trend analyses will occur every ten years or when thresholds indicate further data investigations are prudent. Comprehensive analyses will include formal assessment of trend and more rigorous statistical review (see Jastram et al (2013) for an example).
