From the Mountains to the Sea : The State of Maryland's Freshwater Streams

The Maryland Biological Stream Survey sampled about 1,000 randomly-selected sites on first through third order freshwater streams throughout Maryland from 1995 to 1997. Biota & water chemistry were sampled & physical habitat quality was assessed at each site. Land use/land cover in the watershed upstream of each site was also determined. This report presents the results of the Survey about the condition of wadeable freshwater streams in Maryland. Also describes the extent of physical habitat degradation, including riparian buffer conditions. Other topics include acidification; nutrient enrichment; biodiversity; introduced fish; & rare, threatened, & endangered fish species.Boward, Daniel is the author of 'From the Mountains to the Sea : The State of Maryland's Freshwater Streams', published 2001 under ISBN 9780756713270 and ISBN 0756713277.
