Impact/Purpose:
Objectives of the water quality data analyses presented here are to examine the extent to which water quality could be sampled across US wetlands, to evaluate the various measurement endpoints obtained (e.g., variability, repeatability, information content), to present broad patterns in water quality across the nation and relate them to possible classification variables and natural and anthropogenic drivers, and to generate recommendations concerning further research and protocols for future NWCA assessments.
