Macroinvertebrate taxonomic abundance, water quality, river flow, air temperature and environmental site descriptors from English rivers, 1965-2018

[THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN]. This data product combines macroinvertebrate taxonomic abundance for 1,519 monitoring sites across English rivers for the period between 1965 and 2018, with concentrations of 41 water quality determinands, river flow measurements and air temperature derived values. It also includes site variables such as sewage effluent exposure, habitat quality, land cover in the upstream catchment and other physical parameters measured at the sampling point such as altitude, slope, distance from source, width and depth of the channel, and type of substrate. Developed as part of the ChemPop (2018-2023), a NERC-funded project investigating the impact of chemical exposure on wildlife populations in rivers, this research output is an open data product for use in a broad spectrum of environmental data and modelling analyses.

Statement
This data product was created by processing and combining survey data of national extent collected by the Environment Agency (EA), such as freshwater macroinvertebrate survey data, water quality data, habitat quality metrics and river flow; as well as datasets produced by UKCEH such as Land Cover Map 2015, CHESS-met air temperature and estimated sewage effluent exposure. The spatial distribution of this product matches the spatial extent of the macroinvertebrate data. Its time stamps correspond to the dates of macroinvertebrate sampling. The completeness of this product is determined by the spatio-temporal availability of the data sources. Due to the different data structures and file formats of the data sources, a range of data processing tools was used. However, the same methodology of processing and integration was followed. This involved three steps: first, spatial matching of sampled locations along the river network; second, spatial integration of model-generated variables, including wastewater effluent, land cover and air temperature; and third, temporal matching of environmental observations, such as water quality concentrations and river flow, along with modelled variables such as air temperature.
