Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: September 14, 2026 at 11:56 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 11, 2026 at 12:00 AM
Results described in the paper, "Conserving Stream Fishes with Changing Climate: Assessing Fish Responses to Changes in Habitat Over a Large Region": https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.142503. These data describe the climate driven ecological classification for all National Hydrography Dataset Plus Version 1 (NHDPlusV1) stream reaches in the Temperate Plains ecoregion. Multivariate Regression Tree methods were used to classify stream reaches into 10 stream classes (A-J) using five climatic measures (i.e., standard deviation of daily precipitation in winter, average minimum temperature in summer, annual median daily precipitation, total precipitation in winter, maximum daily precipitation in winter) and one natural variable (i.e., Watershed Area).
