Aquatic Macrophytes, Organic Detritus and Deposited Sediment of Upper
Silver Creek, Blaine County, Idaho and it's Tributaries Stalker and
Grove Creek. by C. Yvonne Manuel-Faler
In June 1981 a study was undertaken to establish a
monitoring program for deposited sediment and aquatic plants in Upper
Silver Creek and its tributaries. The purpose was to obtain quantitative
baseline information on sediment depths and the variety and abundance of
aquatic plants so that in combination with comparable data on benthic
macro-invertebrates and fish, present conditions and subsequent changes
in the ecosystem could be assessed. |
