Figures & data
Figure 1. Protected natural areas and stream sites in southern West Virginia where benthic macroinvertebrate samples were collected in May 2010. Six streams were in the Big Ugly Wildlife Management Area, four streams were in the Kanawha State Forest, and two streams were in the Laurel Lake Wildlife Management Area.
Figure 2. Box plots (including 90th, 75th, 50th, 25th, and 10th percentiles) of measurements of selected long-lived organisms from headwaters of streams in southern West Virginia, May 2010. Ephemeral sites were located at the upstream terminus of flowing water and intermittent sites were located where stream width first reached 0.3 m.
