The data package associated with this script contains all of the periphyton data from the 2007-2022 period. This script was used to process the raw periphyton data to create the data package for the Rocky Mountain Network (ROMN) Streams Ecological Integrity (SEI) Periphyton Data 2007-2022. Periphyton data is collected for long-term monitoring at streams monitoring sites. Periphyton 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.
