Meyer JS. 1992. Physical, chemical and biological characteristics of Prairie Creek -- October 1991. Humboldt State University
This paper reports methods and results of sampling at Prairie Creek (Redwood State and National Parks) by students in a Fisheries class at Humboldt State University, Arcata, California. Collected at 5 study sites, the data cover water, substrate, and aquatic invertebrates. Data tables report physical and chemical characteristics (temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and others), morphological and flow characteristics, substrate size distributions, and invertebrate diversity and types. The brief discussion makes comparisons with a previous student report by David Mushet (1990), finding a notable difference only in conductivity.
