Aquatic Macrophytes, Organic Detritus and Deposited Sediment of Upper Silver Creek, Blaine County, Idaho and it’s Tributaries Stalker and Grove Creek by C. Yvonne Manuel-Faler
In June 1981 a study was undertaken to establish a monitoring program for deposited sediment and aquatic plants in Upper Silver Creek and its tributaries. The purpose was to obtain quantitative baseline information on sediment depths and the variety and abundance of aquatic plants so that in combination with comparable data on benthic macro-invertebrates and fish, present conditions and subsequent changes in the ecosystem could be assessed.
