Chesapeake Stream Team Field Sites, 2021-2024
November 15, 2024
Each year from 2021-2024, teams from the US Geological Survey and Virginia Tech studied 30 streams with a targeted gradient of land use and conservation practices across the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The four years of the study cover the following geographic areas and land use characteristics:
-Shenandoah Valley and Ridge pasture
-Delmarva row crop
-Pennsylvania and Maryland Piedmont mixed agriculture
-Maryland-Washington, DC-Virginia developed Piedmont
The data here provide site names and basic identifiers that are commonly used in the many data releases associated with the larger Chesapeake Stream Team study and serve as a key to match site ID with locations and data. Please note that all site locations are identified at a HUC12 level. We will not publish any site coordinates due to an agreement with landowners to maintain privacy in exchange for permission to access their property.
