Quantitative indicators of biological integrity are needed for streams in the Great Plains of
North America, but it was not known whether the index of biotic integrity (IBI) approach …

The utility of an index of biotic integrity (IBI) depends on its ability to distinguish
anthropogenic effects on biota amid natural biological variability. To enhance this ability, we …

The index of biotic integrity (IBI) has been used to assess the biological quality of flowing

To aid in assessing the extent of degradation in non-tidal streams, a multi-metric Index of
Biotic Integrity (IBI) based on fish assemblages was developed for the Maryland Biological …

We modified the Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) to characterize the fish assemblages and
evaluate the biotic integrity of four forested streams in the Lower Ouachita Mountains …

The Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) incorporates fish-assemblage attributes (called metrics) that
reflect predominant anthropogenic effects on streams. Each IBI metric describes a particular …

This chapter demonstrates the application of Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) to three very
different situations in California: evaluation of watersheds in the entire Sierra Nevada range …

Physical and chemical monitoring of water bodies is relatively common. However, water
