Shenandoah National Park contains hundreds of natural springs which help form the headwaters of three major watersheds that empty into Chesapeake Bay. Virginia Tech partnered with the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring program to sample macroinvertebrates and environmental measures related to water quality, habitat availability, and human use at 63 springs within the park, of which, 59 could were assessed and analyzed. The goals of this inventory were to assess the distributions of macroinvertebrates across springs in the park. Additionally, we sought to determine whether macroinvertebrate diversity and the presence of rare taxa have been impacted by modifications made to springs and/or by visitor use. We identified 205 unique taxa across the 59 springs. Of those taxa, we identified 17 rare taxa using NatureServe’s Conservation Status Rank. Rare taxa were present in 32 springs, 19 of which were modified and 13 were unmodified. Class Insecta represented 90% of rare taxa that were mostly in orders Trichoptera, Plecoptera, Ephemeroptera and Odonata. There was no difference in total taxa richness or abundance between the spring types. Richness and abundance for all taxa and for rare taxa were greater, on average, in modified springs; however, these differences were not statistically significant. The diversity of spring types, locations and habitats appear to support a diversity of species that are not being negatively affected by visitor usage or spring box infrastructure. The springs provide a regional species pool at high density that are likely source populations for the headwater streams.

Geospatial data related to Natural Resource Report NPS/SHEN/NRR—2016/1190

This data package was created 2025-09-24 08:12:31 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data. Data are from the Northern Colorado Plateau Network's Springs and Seeps database that was exported/converted into an NPS WQX Electronic Data Deliverable (EDD) for EQuIS. The EDD was also imported into NPSTORET to produce an NPSTORET version of the database named NCPN_SAS_NPSTORET_BE_20250922.ACCDB (NPSTORET back-end file). This NPSTORET version of the database was filtered to include the following data in the Data Package: Station: - Include Trip QC And All Station Visit Results Value Status: - Accepted or Certified (exported as Final) or Final The data package is organized into six data tables: - Projects.csv - describes the purpose and background of the monitoring efforts - Locations.csv - documents the attributes of the monitoring locations/stations - Results.csv - contains the field measurements, observations, and/or lab analyses for each sample/event/data grouping - HUC.csv - enumerates the domain of allowed values for 8-digit and 12-digit hydrologic unit codes utilized by the Locations data table - Characteristics.csv - enumerates the domain of characteristics available in NPSTORET to identify what was sampled, measured or observed in Results - Taxon.csv - enumerates the domain of taxa available in NPSTORET to identify the organism sampled for Results Period of record for filtered data is 1999-02-19 to 2024-11-20. This data package is a snapshot in time of one National Park Service project. The most current data for this project, which may be more or less extensive than that in this data package, can be found on the Water Quality Portal at: https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=NCPN_SAS&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET
