In addition to legacy mining, the study area encompasses the Leesburg and Mackinaw Mining Districts, which were impacted by the 2022 Moose Fire. Samples included periphyton, seston, aquatic insect larvae, adult insects, spiders, terrestrial vegetation, and stream sediment.  \nData are presented in six tables as comma-separated values (.CSV) files: \nT1_BIOTA contains aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, lead, and zinc concentrations measured in biota and vegetation. \nT2_SP contains aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, lead, and zinc concentrations measured in spiders.\nT3_SED contains aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, lead, and zinc concentrations measured in sediment.  \nT4_QAQC contains data collected for quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) including certified reference materials (CRM), matrix spikes (MS), external check standard solutions (eQC), and procedural blanks (PBLK). \nT5_MDL contains method detection limits (MDL) of the ICPOES and ICPMS.\nT6_SP_MK contains arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, copper, nickel, lead, and zinc concentrations measured in spiders used to evaluate metal elimination kinetics.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P13BPPC3", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.696973cfd4be027f402b1246.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_696973cfd4be027f402b1246", "keyword": ["Challis National Forest", "Idaho", "Leesburg", "Middle Salmon-Panther", "USGS:696973cfd4be027f402b1246", "aquatic ecosystems", "biota", "chemical analysis", "food web", "geochemistry", "geoscientificInformation", "metal elements", "natural resource extraction"], "modified": "2026-07-02T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-114.3174, 45.1078, -114.0740, 45.2896", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Metal concentrations measured in sediment and biota samples collected in the lower Panther Creek watershed (Idaho) in 2023 and 2024 to study the interactive effects of historical mining and wildfire on linked stream-riparian food webs"}
