BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY AT NEON STREAM SITES: PRELIMINARY MACROIINVERTEBRATE AND FISH DATA TRENDS IN WADEABLE STREAMS ACROSS THE OBSERVATORY
The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a national-scale research platform designed to assess the impacts of ecological change on ecosystem structure and function across 20 ecoclimatic domains from Alaska to Puerto Rico. NEON’s aquatic program is comprised of a suite of instrument and observational data collected at 24 wadeable streams, 7 lakes, and 3 large rivers. In 2016, aquatic macroinvertebrate and fish data were collected at 14 and 8 wadeable stream sites respectively. Biological diversity is expected to range widely across the gradient of NEON aquatic sites. Preliminary macroinvertebrate data show species richness ranging from 50 taxa in the Arikaree River, Colorado to 120 taxa in Posey Creek, Virginia, and fish species richness ranging from 1 species in Red Butte Creek, Utah to 23 species in Mayfield Creek, Alabama. Using available abiotic data such as stream discharge and water chemistry, we are able to analyze trends in biological diversity data at NEON stream sites across the network. When operating at full capacity, NEON aquatic data will be available from 34 sites across the observatory.
