MACROECOLOGICAL RIVERINE COMPARISONS OF THREE BASINS IN MOUNTAIN STEPPE ECOREGION OF THE GREAT BASIN
This component of the MACRO (Macroecological Riverine Synthesis) project focuses on characterization of hydro-geomorphology to relate riverine ecology through Functional Process Zones (FPZs) as defined by Thorp, et al. (2006). The overall project will include a comparison of riverine ecosystems of temperate and mountain steppe ecosystems between Continental United States and Mongolia. In the first year data was collected using adapted EPA Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) (McDonald et al., 2002) and Physical Habitat (PHAB) protocols to provide characterization of selected sites associated with four different FPZs on three rivers (Carson, Bear and Humbolt) in the Great Basin. This information is used to compare riverine physical habitat characteristics along basins and between basins and to compare FPZ characterization to geomorphologic characterization through principal component and cluster analysis.
