摘要: Abstract The status of biological criteria in state and federal water quality programs suggest that the majority North American resource types have at least a single multimetric index developed. Large rivers, wetlands, lakes are process being studied reference conditions developed but primarily been for Midwest Northeastern United States. Biological can include variety indicators ranging from indices, univariate standard zoological botanical indicators, predictive models. use models to predict local result spatial scales address. will be applied as measure condition, restoration goals, enforcement compliance, establishing baseline Natural Resource Damage Assessments (NRDA), formulating models, by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) meeting Government Performance Results Act Goal 2b.
