Local Identifier:edi.1624.1
Title:Abiotic and biotic data collected from Spadra and Greenbriar Creeks in Clarksville, Arkansas.
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

University of the Ozarks stream ecology students collected biotic (macroinvertebrate and fish community) and abiotic (temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, discharge) data in the spring 2024 semester. Macroinvertebrate data was collected using kick nets, D-nets, and visual inspection, and fish were collected using seine nets. Temperature is being logged in perpetuity with a HOBO, MX2201 data logger, and pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen were recorded using a YSI Quatro handheld multiparameter probe. River discharge was calculated manually using the surface float method, and a qualitative habitat assessment was conducted. This data package is a long-term, temporal, student-led data generation effort designed to be shared with the freshwater community.

Data Entities
Data Table Name:
Spring 2024 Macroinvertebrates
Description:
Macroinvertebrate community data collected in the spring semester of 2024 by University of the Ozarks stream ecology students. Samples were collected from a 25-meter reach of river with a 1m^2 kick net, a sweep using a D-net, visual inspection of cobble and boulder, and leaf packs. This data is a composite of all samples.
Data Table Name:
Spring 2024 Fish
Description:
Fish community data collected in the spring semester of 2024 by University of the Ozarks stream ecology students. Samples were collected from approximately 100m reach of the river using a seine net for one hour and recording the number of hauls (individual "dips" of the net) collected within that time. Fish were stored in a bucket with river water until sampling was complete. After sampling, fish were identifies, measured, and returned to the river.
Data Table Name:
Spring 2024 Temp
Description:
River temperature data was recorded using a HOBO MX 2201 water temperature data logger.
Data Table Name:
Spring 2024 Water Chemistry
Description:
Physical water quality parameters, including water chemistry values recorded with a YSI handheld multiparameter probe, current velocity using the surface float method, and habitat quality.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

Macroinvertebrate communities were collected in the spring semester of 2024 by University of the Ozarks stream ecology students. Samples were collected from a 25-meter reach of each river using four collection techniques: 1) a kick net was used to sample macroinvertebrates in riffle zones, 2) a D-net was used to sweep undercut banks, 3) leaf packs were collected and analyzed, and 4) visual inspection was conducted on cobble and boulder found in river substrates. Macroinvertebrates were separated from samples, sorted, and identified to the family taxon level.

Instrument(s):Transect measuring tape, kick net, d-net
Description:

Fish community sampling was conducted in the spring semester of 2024 by University of the Ozarks stream ecology students. Samples were collected from a 100m reach of river using a seine net for one hour and recording the number of hauls (individual "dips" of the net) collected within that time. Fish were stored in a bucket with river water until sampling was complete. After sampling, fish were identified to the species taxonomic level, measured in cm, and returned to the river.

Instrument(s):3 X 1.25m nylon mesh seine net (3.18mm mesh), bucket
Description:

River temperature data was recorded using a HOBO MX 2201 pendant water temperature data logger. At each river site, the data logger was secured to a brick with twist ties, tied to a tree with nylon rope, and deployed in river pools. Data loggers were deployed in early February, 2024, and temperature data will be recorded every 10 minutes for 2.2 years from the deployment point.

Instrument(s):HOBO MX 2201 pendant temperature logger, twist ties, brick, nylon rope
Description:

Physical water quality parameters, including water chemistry values, were recorded with a YSI Quatro handheld multiparameter probe. Discharge was calculated manually by multiplying current velocity by the average cross-section area of the river reach. A qualitative habitat assessment was also conducted.

Instrument(s):YSI Quatro handheld multiparameter probe
