Abstract:
In 2001, a macroinvertebrate biomonitoring program was
established at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in
conjunction with additional sampling for chemical and physical
water quality parameters. Since
interannual variation of environmental variables is generally
quite high, macroinvertebrate biomonitoring was continued in
2002. The purpose of
this project is to identify the macroinvertebrates collected
during the summer of 2002, to analyze the sampling data, and to
report the results to the park.
