Kilroy C, Data Curator (2018). Darfield Landfill assessment - Periphyton. Version 1.4. The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA). Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/y6qovm accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-12-09.

Description

Periphyton samples were collected from two sites on Waianiwaniwa River upstream and downstream of the site of a proposed landfill, as part of an environmental assessment. Six - 10 quantitative samples were collected (rock scrapes) from each site on 1 December 1999, and analysed for biomass. Community composition was determined from a pooled sample of upstream and downstream locations at each site.
