Benthos monitoring

The objective of benthos monitoring is to know the status of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in rivers depending, in particular, on the composition of the substrate and the type of flow. Information on benthic macroinvertebrate samples collected at benthos monitoring stations is classified according to the benthos health index: isBG for coarse-substrate streams and isBM for soft-substrate streams. The benthos health index (ISB) is a multimetric index based on benthic macroinvertebrates that assesses the biotic integrity of shallow streams. The benthos monitoring dataset includes a layer of sampling stations sampled between 2003 and 2022 and a layer of drainage areas for each of the substrate types, either coarse-grained or loose. The drainage area attribute table also provides a compilation of land use by category for the last year available at the time the data was generated, that is, 2019.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
