Abstract:

The Upper Clark Fork River (UCFR) Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB) project acts in collaboration with a 200-million-dollar (USD) superfund project for ecological restoration of the UCFR, associated tributaries, and head water streams including Silver Bow and Warm Springs Creeks. Restoration along the UCFR in western Montana includes removal of metal-laden floodplain soils, lowering of the floodplain to its original elevation, and re-vegetation of over 70 km of the river’s floodplain closest to contaminant sources. The UCFR LTREB project includes bi-weekly water quality monitoring across the first 200 km of the river and its major tributaries along a gradient of heavy metal contamination associated with historic mining. Monitoring includes inorganic phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations, biotic standing stocks, and dissolved and whole-water heavy metal concentrations. The monitoring program began in 2017 with funding likely to be extended through 2028. The original analytical intent for data in this product was to assess the response of the river algal community to the floodplain restoration. Data are measurements of benthic biomass organic matter standing stocks and pigments associated with primary producers. Benthic biomass data were collected on the UCFR (USGS HUC 17010201) at 7 monitoring sites distributed from Warm Springs (near Anaconda, MT) to Bonita (east of Missoula, MT). Data from the Deer Lodge and Garrison sites were obtained from the RASS (CREWS) associated project. Data from Bonita were obtained from the NFAS (CREWS-LTREB/REU) associated project. Benthic samples were obtained using a cylindrical benthic sampler isolating a known area of the river bed. Five samples were obtained at each site. Biomass estimates were obtained from area-normalized ash free dry mass. Algae pigment concentrations for chlorophyll and phaeophytin were obtained through the use of extraction in acetone followed by spectroscopy. Phycocyanin concentrations were measured in aqueous suspension (in-vivo) with a fluorometer. Biomass compartments were discriminated between epilithon on river bed substrate, epiphyton on filamentous algae, terrestrial coarse particulate organic carbon, deposited fine benthic organic matter, and macrophytes. Data are from the 2020 algal growing season.

Purpose:

Water quality in the Upper Clark Fork River (UCFR) suffers from a century-old mining legacy. Heavy metals and nitrogen enrichment associated with human activity influence aquatic communities and processes. A 200-million-dollar (USD) ecological remediation and restoration of the UCFR was initiated in 2013 and will continue for 20 years. Large-scale ecological restoration of the UCFR floodplain after removal of mine waste contamination is a component of the largest US EPA “superfund” project since implementation of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) by the US government in 1980. Remediation of the uppermost 70 km of the UCFR is removing metal-contaminated sediments while restoration includes restructuring the floodplain and its vegetation while lowering its elevation to promote interaction with the river during high flows. Upgrades to wastewater treatment plants and changing hydrologic conditions will occur even as the State of Montana embarks upon a whole-scale restoration of the UCFR floodplain. Since the 1990s, state agencies, University of Montana (UM) researchers, and PIs from this project have gathered data on the benthic algae, river water chemistry, and sediment transformation of contaminants in water. UCFR LTREB funds starting in 2017 have continued support of baseline monitoring of metal contamination, carbon, biomass, nutrients, and metabolic activity. The motivation for extending the long-term dataset is to address changes in the character of subsidies and stressors for river productivity, algal blooms, and ecological integrity in a river being restored from long-term contamination problems.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

## Measurement methods Where more details are available, each description below is cross-referenced with the brief methods caption provided in the descriptions of the columns in full metdata for Data Tables under the Data Entities heading. The detailed standards of practice for the collection of these data are available in 1\_Protocol.zip/SOP\_Biomass Samplng\_and\_Processing\_RFL\_08\_APR\_23.docx ### *Field sample management protocol* At each sampling site, 5 locations were chosen for sampling of benthic organic matter using a cylindrical sampler. Average water depth was first measured in the sampler. From the bed isolated by the sampler, organic matter was collected, including: coarse particulate organic matter; rocks with epilithon, filamentous algae, and associated epiphyton; macrophytes; and fine benthic organic matter suspended by agitation. After removal of filamentous algae, each rock was processed for epilithon by conventional scrubbing and rinsing from a measured surface area of the rock (Hauer and Lamberti 2017). All resulting samples were bagged in the field and kept in a dark cooler for transport to the lab, where they were stored at 4 degrees Celsius until analysis. ### *Stage measurement* Depth was measured with a meter stick at 4 cardinal locations around the edge of the cylindrical substrate sampler. ### *Ashing and reweighing of a sample from a measured surface area of substrate* Samples were dried, weighed, combusted in a furnace, and reweighed. Dry weight was the weight after drying. Ash weight was the weight after combustion. Organic matter weight was estimated as the difference between dry weight and ash weight (i.e., the ash-free dry mass or AFDM). This method applies to the CPOM and macrophyte sample processing (Hauer and Lamberti 2017). ### *Ashing and reweighing of residue after filtering a sample from a measured surface area of substrate* Organic matter standing stocks were obtained through a gravimetric approach based on residue from filtering a known volume of sample through a 0.7-micron GFF filter or a 1-2 gram subsample of a bulk sample of filamentous algal biomass collected from a measured surface area of the rock. The residue or subsample were dried until reaching a constant mass, combusted in a muffle furnace, and then reweighed to determine the mass of remaining ash. Ash-free dry mass of organic matter was determined by subtracting the mass of inorganic ash from the dry weight that includes combustible organic matter. This method applied to the epilithon and epiphyton samples (Hauer and Lamberti 2017). ### *Ashing and reweighing of residue after filtering agitated water from a sampler with known area* A sample of the fine benthic organic matter suspended in river water by agitation in the sampler was filtered on a pre-weighed filter. The filter and residue were dried, weighed, combusted in a furnace, and reweighed. Dry weight was the weight after drying. Ash weight was the weight after combustion. Organic matter weight was estimated as the difference between dry weight and ash weight (i.e., the ash-free dry mass or AFDM, Hauer and Lamberti 2017). ### *Spectrophotometric measurement of an extracted sample from a measured surface area of substrate* Pigment standing stocks in FBOM, epilithon, and epiphyton were obtained from the residue of filtering a known volume of sample onto a 0.7-micron GFF filter. Pigment standing stocks in filamentous algae were extracted from a 0.5-g sample of filaments. Pigments were extracted from samples for 24h in a 90% buffered acetone solution. Absorbance of light at specific wavelengths was measured pre- and post- acidification of extracts for turbidity-corrected chlorophyll a and phaeophytin quantification (664, 665, and 750nm). The ratio of carotenoids to chlorophyll a was estimated from the ratio of 640 nm to 664 nm absorbances (Hauer and Lamberti 2017). ### *Spectrophotometric measurement of an extracted sample from a measured surface area of substrate (Ritchie 2008)* Absorbances were also measured at three wavelengths (630, 647 and 691nm). Using these additional measurements, chlorophylls a-d and total chlorophyll were estimated using the quadrichroic equation (using absorbances at 630, 647, 665 and 691nm) described in Ritchie (2008). ### *Fluorometric measurement of an in vivo sample from a measured surface area of substrate* Phycocyanin concentrations were estimated in FBOM, epilithon, and epiphyton samples using a handheld fluorometer by measuring in-vivo concentrations prior to filtration. ## Data processing methods This data product is designed to provide the provenance of final tables in a pipeline format, to the degree that provenance is available. Where available, raw data files from instruments and manufacturer software are available in the 0\_Data.zip file. The coding used to process the data is available in the 1\_Protocol.zip file. In this case, final processing was carried out with R scripts and R markdown files. Incremental files created for the purpose of data processing are available in the 2\_Incremental.zip file. Ready-to-use analytical data are available at the data package's root level (on the dataset landing page under the "Resources" section) and are described in the full metadata. ### *Contents of 0\_Data.zip* - *meta/* - Directory with project templates for metadata - *attributes.xlsx* - Microsoft Excel file with commonly used table column attributes in the project - *people.xlsx* - Microsoft Excel file with tabular data on people associated with the project used for metadata generation. - *sites\_main.xlsx* - Microsoft Excel file with authoritative project site list at the time of publication of these data. ### *Contents of 1\_Protocol.zip* - *1\_Digitalization/* - Directory for digitalization protocol - *\*\_MASTER\_DIG.xlsx* - Microsoft Excel templates for digitizing data from field sheets - *2\_Calculation/* - Directory with code for organic matter and pigment calculations - *CALC\_ALL.R* - R code that performs calculations for organic matter and pigments - *RASS\_SITENAMES.R* - R code for organizing RASS project data - *3\_Integration/* - Directory with code for integrating data tables - *INTEGRATION.R* - R code that integrates the calculated data into a single table - *4\_QAQC/* - Directory with quality assurance information - *READ ME!.txt* - Notes on QAQC - *5\_ISF\_Generation/* - Directory with information about final table generation - *ISF\_template\_20200813\_RFL.xlsx* - Template for final data tables - *6\_metadata/* - Directory with code for processing metadata and generating EML - *01\_processing.Rmd* - R markdown creating the data tables and associated metadata. - *01\_processing\_compile.R* - R script that compiles the processing R markdown to an HTML document (2\_Incremental.zip/6\_metadata/processing\_notes.html) - *05\_ui\_narrative.R* - shiny R app for managing narrative metadata (requires external package) - *05\_ui\_people.R* - shiny R app for managing people metadata (requires external package) - *10\_metadata.Rmd* - R markdown defining the generation of the metadata file and the EML file based on EDI EML assembly line. - *10\_metadata\_compile.R* - R script that compiles the metadata R markdown to an HTML document in the data product (readme.html) and an EML file (eml.xml). - R code in this directory depends on R packages: tidyr, readtext, knitr, EMLassemblyline, and xml2.

R code included in this product will generate temporary files in the ./2\_Incremental/.temp folder. These temporary files contain no unique data or metadata and thus are not archived in the corresponding zip file. ### *QAQC Notes* QAQC was performed following these criteria: 1. Some epilithon biomass values were likely wong. Main cause for error was probably poor drying of samples before ashing. Values were substituted by estimates based on the relationship between ashed mass and organic mass for all other samples, since that relationship was fairly constant. - y = 3.1639x + 12.4, R2 = 0.7227 - Specifically, rows: 27, 35, 48, 81, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145 2. All values <0 were replaced with NAs, since negative values are not reasonable for any of the variables measured. 3. Outliers were not removed. Case by case analysis is advisable. ## References Hauer, F.R. and Lamberti, G. eds. 2017. Methods in stream ecology: Volume 1: Ecosystem structure. Academic Press. Ritchie, R. J. 2008.
