Title:Characterization of photosynthetic epilithic biomass on the river bed of the Upper Clark Fork River (Montana, USA) during the algal growing seasons of 2017 and 2018
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

These data were collected to support monitoring of the Upper Clark Fork River restoration, and data collection was funded by the US NSF Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB) program and the US NSF EPSCoR funded Montana Consortium for Research on Environmental Water Systems. The original analytical intent for these data was to assess the response of the river algal community to the floodplain restoration. Data characterize epilithic biomass on the river bed including measurements of benthic standing stocks and abundance of pigments associated with primary producers. Metrics of characterization include areal density of chlorophyll a, areal density of phaeophytin, the ratio of carotenoid to chlorophyll absorbance, percent organic matter, areal density of organic matter, and catageory of biomass composition (filamentous algae vs. other epilithon). Samples were obtained from collecting and scrubbing five rocks at any given site. Biomass estimates were obtained from area corrected Ash Free Dry Mass. Pigment concentrations were obtained through the use of extraction in acetone followed by spectroscopy. Data are from the 2017 and 2018 algal growing seasons. Data were collected on the Upper Clark Fork River (USGS HUC 17010201) at project sites distributed along the river from the vicinity of Anaconda to Missoula, Montana, USA. The LTREB monitoring project consists of monthly or bi-weekly water quality monitoring across a 200-km restoration gradient contaminated by historic mining practices to monitor inorganic phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations, biotic standing stocks, and heavy metal contamination.

Purpose:
Water quality in the Upper Clark Fork River (UCFR) suffers from a century-old mining legacy. Heavy metals and N 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 and restoration of the uppermost 70 km of the UCFR are removing metal-contaminated sediments and lowering the floodplain to promote river-floodplain interaction 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 and University of Montana (UM) PIs from this project have gathered data on the benthic algae, river water chemistry, and sediment transformation of contaminants in water. UCFR LTREB funds support 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 table columns. ### _Field sample management protocol_ At each sampling site, 5 rocks (with repID numbered 1-5) were selected haphazardly in an attempt to approximate a random sample (true random sampling was impractical). Each rock was subjectively designated with either "high" filamentous biomass and processed by sampling filamentous algae from a measured surface area of the rock or "low" filamentous biomass and processed with conventional scrubbing and rinsing of epilithon from a measured surface area of the rock (Hauer and Lamberti 2017). Epilithon was sampled by scrubbing the rock with an iron brush where detached material was washed into a collection tray using river water. 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. ### _Spectrophotometric measurement of suspension of epilithon sample from a measured surface area of rock_ Pigment standing stocks were obtained from the residue of filtering a known volume of sample onto a 0.7-micon GFF filter or from a 1-2 gram subsample of a bulk sample of filamentous algal biomass collected from a measured surface area of the rock. 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 and phaeophytin quantification (664, 665, and 750nm, Hauer and Lamberti 2017) and carotenoids estimation (430nm). ### _Ashing and reweighing of filtration residue from suspension of epilithon sample from a measured surface area of rock_ 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 was determined by subtracting the mass of inorganic ash from the dry weight that includes combustible organic matter (Hauer and Lamberti 2017). ## 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 01\_input.zip file. The coding used to process the data is available in the 02\_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 03\_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 01\_input.zip * _2017/_ - Directory with algal growing season 2017 data and metadata * _chl afdm (sampling date).xlsx_ - Spectrophotometric data processing for a given sampling date * _(sampling date) Field-Lab Notebook biweekly.xlsx_ - Field measurements and AFDM calculations for a given sampling date * _2018/_ - Directory with algal growing season 2018 data and metadata * _chl afdm (sampling date).xlsx_ - Spectrophotometric data processing for a given sampling date * _(sampling date) Field-Lab Notebook biweekly.xlsx_ - Field measurements and AFDM calculations for a given sampling date * _meta/_ - Directory with project templates for metadata * _2021 Site Table.xlsx_ - Microsoft Excel file with authoritative project site list at the time of publication of these data. * _attributes.xlsx_ - Excel file with commonly used table column attributes in the project * _people.xlsx_ - Excel file with tabular data on people associated with the project used for metadata generation. ### Contents of 02\_protocol.zip * _.RProfile_ - An R profile file with R code that establishes the appropriate working directory for the R project used to generate this data product. * _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 (03\_Incremental.zip - processing\_notes.html) * _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 (metadata.html) and an EML file (eml.xml). * _99\_runall.R_ - Convenience R script for fully regenerating the data product. * _RStudioProject.Rproj_ - An RStudio project file provided for convenience in working with the code generating this data product with the appropriate working directory.
