Abstract
The objective of this study is to develop reference standards for headwater streams in the Piedmont physiographic region of Georgia. We predict that these standards will be influenced by physical parameters of the stream ecosystem, including historical sedimentation from agriculture. Streams with similar substrates might contain similar aquatic macroinvertebrate communities, but those with different substrates may differ significantly.
