Data for: A field-based model of the relationship between extirpation of salt-intolerant benthic invertebrates and background conductivity

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Catalog Last Checked: April 21, 2026 at 07:56 PM | Dataset Last Updated: November 20, 2016
The data is provided in 2 zip files that share site identifiers. One data set contains biological (genus benthic invertebrate) data (Data Biological.zip) and the other contains water quality data (Data Environmental.zip), in particular specific conductivity that were used for analyses. A third zip file( XC95_20161120B-C model.zip) contains the XC95 for each genus for each stage data set in Column F of the .csv files. Other columns contain effect specific conductivity effect levels determined by other analytical methods such as from generalized additive models (GAM), linear regression models (LRM) or a weighted optimum (WAopt). Column T (Trend) indicates if the XC95 is confident (+), approximate (~), or greater (>) than the XC95. The pdf files provide plots of either the cumulative frequency distribution or the generalized additive models for each genus in each state data set. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Cormier, S., L. Zheng, and C. Flaherty. A field-based model of the relationship between extirpation of salt-intolerant benthic invertebrates and background conductivity. SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT. Elsevier BV, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 633: 1629-1636, (2018).
