Data Release for: Classification of California streams using combined deductive and inductive approaches: setting the foundation for analysis of hydrologic alteration
October 25, 2017
The dataset contains 28 physical descriptors for each of 135,118 stream segments in California, USA. The stream segments are identified using the medium resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), Version. These data were used to perform a classification analysis described in Pyne and others, 2016, Classification of California streams using combined deductive and inductive approaches: Setting the foundation for analysis of hydrologic alteration. Ecohydrology. DOI: 10.1002/eco.1802

Classification of California streams using combined deductive and inductive approaches: Setting the foundation for analysis of hydrologic alteration
Regional classification of streams is an early step in the Ecological Limits of Hydrologic Alteration framework. Many stream classifications are based on an inductive approach using hydrologic data from minimally disturbed basins, but this approach may underrepresent streams from heavily disturbed basins or sparsely gaged arid regions. An alternative is a deductive approach, using watershed climat
