Map of streams that met the criteria of our illustrative query to identify candidate streams for restoration. The query first identified streams with predicted probabilities of good [Pr(good)] biological condition < 0.5 and an index of catchment integrity (ICI) < 0.60 (the 1st quartile of ICI values). The query then identified streams with index of watershed integrity (IWI) values > 0.75 (i.e., higher than mean national IWI). First (Strahler) order streams were excluded from this second query because for these streams ICI and IWI are equivalent and restoration of the catchment should result in the restoration of the watershed. The final query identified streams with an upstream or downstream neighbor with Pr(good) > 0.5, thus improving the likelihood of dispersal of desired taxa from neighboring streams.
