Abstract / Description
This report summarizes the data on benthic macroinvertebrates collected from 14 ponds in the Great Salt Lake wetlands during August to November 2007. The purposes of the sampling were to: (1) compare two quantitative sampling methods (cores and dip nets), (2) assess the effects of elevated salinity and nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) levels on macroinvertebrate abundance and composition, and (3) assess which characteristics of the macroinvertebrate community would be useful in water quality monitoring in the wetlands.
