How is this database useful? Modeling fish/insect natural communities in WI streams In the absence of major human impacts, the occurrence and abundance of fishes and invertebrates in Wisconsin streams is determined largely by stream flow and water temperature []. Of particular importance are the maximum water temperature and minimum flow in summer. John Lyons, WDNR report, 2008 24. How is this database useful? Modeled daily stream temperature for historic period (1990-2000) and forecasted for two periods in coming century (2046-2065 and 2081-2100) Used artificial neural network modeling framework to select the primary drivers of daily stream temperature Drivers included static watershed characteristics and dynamic weather metrics Stewart, J. et al.
