Summary

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides benthic algae data collected from the upper White River Basin, Colorado, during August 2020 and July 2021. All data are reported as raw calculated values and are not rounded to USGS significant figures. The dataset includes samples collected at 20 USGS water-quality sites. Benthic algae were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level, and abundance (density) and biovolume are reported.
