HYDROLOGIC VARIABILITY AND THE APPLICATION OF INDEX OF BIOTIC INTEGRITY METRICS TO WETLANDS: A GREAT LAKES EVALUATION

Interest by land-management and regulatory agencies in using biological indicators to detect wetland degradation, coupled with ongoing use of this approach to assess water quality in streams, led to the desire to develop and evaluate an Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) for wetlands that could be used...
