- W2030169444 abstract "Acid mine drainage (AMD) resulting from extensive coal mining throughout Appalachia since the 1800s has caused a legacy of severe acid and dissolved metal loads to thousands of stream miles, which has critically impacted aquatic life and ecological attributes. Relationships of diatoms and macroinvertebrates with AMD have been established, but no index specifically designed to quantify AMD impacts using diatoms has been created, nor have the response of multiple organism groups been compared for their utility as indices assessing AMD severity. For the purpose of developing an effective assessment and management strategy for AMD impacted streams, this study created and tested a multi-metric AMD-diatom index of biotic integrity (AMD-DIBI) and compared its response to AMD severity with an already established multi-metric macroinvertebrate community index (ICI). In 2006, 41 sites in southeast Ohio were sampled that represented an AMD impact gradient and non-AMD impacted reference sites. Metrics comprising the AMD-DIBI were selected based on their responsiveness to AMD and nutrient impacts. In the following year, the AMD-DIBI and its metrics were tested on a validation dataset consisting of 18 sites in an AMD impacted watershed. Results indicated a significant correlation between AMD-DIBI and ICI scores, and both indices and all metrics were strongly correlated with water chemistry variables indicative of AMD pollution (P < 0.05). Stepwise multiple regression selected alkalinity and conductivity as most influential to AMD-DIBI (adjusted r2 = 0.70) and ICI scores (adjusted r2 = 0.66). Narrative classes (e.g., Poor, Fair, Good, and Excellent) defined by index scores provided effective classifications of AMD severity. When tested on the watershed scale, AMD-DIBI and its metrics very successfully quantified AMD gradients and coal mining impacts as indicated by canonical correspondence analysis. This newly developed AMD-DIBI will be very useful for assessing impairment, sensitivity, and recovery of diatom communities in streams damaged or threatened by coal mining activities. In addition, because the AMD-DIBI was very responsive to a gradient of AMD pollution, it could be used in future studies measuring the long-term status of streams and effectiveness of various remediation methods. This study highlights the responsive power of diatom-based metrics." @default.
