Fluridone treatment data and SAV cover across the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta (2014-2018)

In the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta, California spends millions of dollars each year to treat submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) such as Egeria densa and Myriophyllum spicatum. We integrated four different datasets to examine the efficacy of SAV treatment using fluridone over five years (2014-2018) across the entire ecosystem. For 132 sites across the Delta, we collated annual information on whether a site was treated, the amount of fluridone sprayed per site per unit area of SAV, consecutive years of treatment, and water speed within the site. This dataset was analyzed and the results of the analysis were published in a paper in Biological Invasions (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10530-023-03013-7). ## About This Federated Record This CNRA Open Data Platform record is based on metadata federated from the Environmental Data Initiative (EDI) Data Portal.
