Description
Three sites, covering the Begium Meuse River had been homogeneously monitored for a longest period of time (1972-2010). Dissolved oxygen, water temperature, suspended matter, nitrates, ammonium, dissolved reactive phosphorus, chlorophyll-a and water discharge were measured by public institutions. For each site and each parameter, annual average values were calculated (mean, min and max).
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 117 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods
specification of method(s) used for sampling and sorting: The IBGA methodology consist to sampled macroinvertebrate on various substrats : - 3 artificial substrats disposed at least 1 month in the river, - 3 different substrats along the bank (artificial, vegetal and mineral) - 1 sample in the channel by dredging or scubadiving.
