Null Hypothesis Testing
� Ho1: Aquatic assemblages will not exhibit significant changes in composition over time.
� Ho2: Fish and invertebrate assemblages will not differ in their response to environment degradation.
� Ho3: Aquatic assemblages response will not be related to temporal changes in environmental processes.
� Ho4 Natural variability does not influence temporal changes in assemblage composition.
� HA1: Sites which have been significantly altered over time periods prior to or exceeding the NAWQA sampling effort will show little or no trends in biotic assemblages and/or abiotic parameters.

Data ElementsData Elements� 32 sites within NC-NE US (MRB 1 & 3), 5 larger river sites dropped after
some initial analyses
� Sites were required to have at least 6 years of sequential invertebrate and fish data to be included in these analyses- mean of 8 years of data max 11yrs
� A single year ‘best’ representative sample was selected for each site
� Biotic Data: � Inverts & fish assemblage , metrics, and species traits data
� Abiotic Data� Habitat information
� Chemistry� Field parameters, Major Ions, Nutrients, DOC and Pesticides
� Single sample prior ecology sample� Mean monthly average across the year of the ecology sample� Pesticide toxicity index (PTI) information

Summary of findingsSummary of findings--
NC/NE trend sitesNC/NE trend sites
� Established significant patterns of change in fish and invertebrate assemblages at 15 and 19 sites, respectively
� Ten of which are sites significant for both
� We delineated some of the potential mechanisms influencing these assemblages (i.e. habitat, QW, hydrology parameters accounting change)
� Noted some consistency of indicators over time
� Although we can see some similarities for sites within particular site type (AG or URB), the real strength of our analyses is to look at individual site patterns over time

Take home points Take home points
from these trends studies so farfrom these trends studies so far� Change in assemblage composition was evident, but response
differed relative to assemblage type.
� Hydrologic variability appears to be a major factor most of our analyses
� Difficulties with attributing the change in community patterns to ancillary variables.
� Accounting for climatic variability is very important
� Sample size is important-the more data more likely ability to detect change over time.
