Streams Ecological Integrity (SEI) Macroinvertebrate Raw Data Processing for the Rocky Mountain Network (ROMN) – Processing Script
Takvorian M . 2025. Streams Ecological Integrity (SEI) Macroinvertebrate Raw Data Processing for the Rocky Mountain Network (ROMN) – Processing Script. National Park Service. https://doi.org/10.57830/2311528
The data package associated with this script contains all of the macroinvertebrate data from the 2007-2022 period. Macroinvertebrate, or benthos, data is collected by the Rocky Mountain Network (ROMN) for long term monitoring at streams monitoring sites. Macroinvertebrate data is one monitoring component within the Streams Ecological Integrity monitoring protocol. The general objectives of SEI monitoring are to document the status and long-term trends in ecological condition of streams and rivers in a park, and to use this information to help understand why stream conditions may have changed. Resource managers may, in turn, use information from SEI monitoring to make resource management decisions within their parks.
