Featured Research Project

A Biologically-Optimized Environmental Classification of Maryland Streams: Assessing Impacts of Stream Burial and Responses to Climate Change

By looking at the biological communities living in streams across Maryland, scientists can learn a lot about the health of these waterways. In this study, researchers are drawing from state data to map the distribution of fish and small animals in streams across Maryland and the factors that potentially influence that distribution, such as urban growth. Such a map could be used to pinpoint particular stream reaches that are particularly sensitive to the negative effects of development.
