Sampling was stratified to provide separate estimates of invertebrate biomass and abundance in all major vegetative zones of each wetland. Samples were collected at random locations along the 3 established transects in each wetland that were established earlier and used to collect other biotic and abiotic data (LaBaugh et al. 1987). The length of each vegetation zone as bisected by transects was measured and a computer-generated set of random numbers used to identify sample points for the collection of invertebrate samples in each vegetative zone. One sample was collected from each major vegetative zone from each transect. Data consist of counts by taxa." In data curation, each transect has been treated as a sample, since in some years, some wetlands had fewer than three of their transects sampled. Trap contents were collected after 24 hours and contents were poured through a 0.5-mm screened plankton cup. Detailed sampling protocol is in Mushet et al. 2022, USGS Professional Paper 1874.
